This thinking process causes a bit of backscatter to 8.4, but since 8.4 is not yet released, and if this backscatter will make life easier in the future it is a good thing. So, the most prominent changes, are to make the future transition from drbd-8.4 to drbd-9 a smooth experience. Please note: This is a release candidate, not intended for production. Please help with testing! 8.4.0rc3 (api:genl1/proto:86-100) -------- * Renamed drbdsetup commands: new-connection -> new-resource, del-connection -> del-resource and xml -> xml-help * Renamed a configure option: --with-legacy-connector -> --with-legacy_utils * Renamed drbdadm options --force to --yes * drbdadm now passes drbdsetup options through, without the cumbersome "--" separator. They need to be given after the command on the command line. I.e. "drbdadm primary r0 --force". This is enabled for: attach, disk-options, new-options, disconnect, resource-options, primary and new-current-uuid. * Changes from the 8.3 branch up to 8.3.11rc3 * Code cleanups ; Removal of compatibility code for kernels older than 2.6.18 http://git.drbd.org/?p=drbd-8.4.git;a=tag;h=drbd-8.4.0rc3 http://oss.linbit.com/drbd/8.4/drbd-8.4.0rc3.tar.gz Best, Phil -- : Dipl-Ing Philipp Reisner : LINBIT | Your Way to High Availability : Tel: +43-1-8178292-50, Fax: +43-1-8178292-82 : http://www.linbit.com DRBD(R) and LINBIT(R) are registered trademarks of LINBIT, Austria.
