Today I have the honour to announce the availability of release candidate 1 for drbd-9.2.16 and drbd-9.3.0-rc.5. The latter is already at 5, since we did some internal release candidates. This time it looks good. Regarding the fixes, everything is minor and boring. drbd-9.3 is where the exciting new features are. This time, it got support for tunable bitmap granularity and for disabling the change-tracking bitmap entirely. Please help test the release candidates. I plan to do the final releases in one week if nobody finds a showstopper. 9.2.16-rc.1 (api:genl2/proto:86-101,118-122/transport:19) -------- * Do not trigger the OOM-killer when allocating a too-big dirty bitmap during attach; instead, fail the attach operation. * Do not flush half-created packets out while closing a connection * Fixed a bug that, in rare circumstances, when flapping between Ahead and resync, can lead to a divide by zero error. * Fixed a bug that caused DRBD to send too many P_PEERS_IN_SYNC packets when finishing a resync; on huge devices ( >10TB), that led to temporarily higher I/O latencies. * Fixed an unhandled corner case to automatically reintegrate an I/O frozen primary into a larger partition that created a newer data generation * Compatibility with Linux-6.17 https://github.com/LINBIT/drbd/commit/7e76d29637ec8118d94961fc6d7b00666a4364a0 https://pkg.linbit.com//downloads/drbd/9/drbd-9.2.16-rc.1.tar.gz 9.3.0-rc.5 (api:genl2/proto:86-101,118-123/transport:19) -------- * Implemented support for bitmap granularity between 4k and 1M, including exchanging bitmaps with peers with a different bitmap block size * Add support for omitting bitmap allocation for standalone devices * Explicit config option for drbd8-api-compatibility mode * Fixes for resync without replication * All fixes from 9.2.14, 9.2.15 and 9.2.16 * Compatibility with Linux-6.17 https://github.com/LINBIT/drbd/commit/980eaa0401adf05726c5a609fb98f2e3c3382332 https://pkg.linbit.com//downloads/drbd/9/drbd-9.3.0-rc.5.tar.gz cheers, philipp
