I realize you've updated past 8.3.7 so you probably wouldn't want to but for those that haven't and may not want to the Ubuntu-HA team developed a patch to fix the above bug which I have tested and am using. They also submitted a SRU request that needs verification. If anyone is willing to test the patched version it is in -proposed. (and I would agree you should be fine on 8.3.7 except I would use the proposed version with the above bug patched) HTH Jake > > However we've upgraded to 8.3.11 for the new features it provides, > and I > expect we'll upgrade to newer 8.3 releases later on. > We have a PPD you can use : > https://launchpad.net/~numerigraphe/+archive/ppa > Our drbd packages are recompiled from the ubuntu source packages, > with > only the original tarball upgraded - nothing fancy.
