Hello,
We are looking at puting drbd into SL5. I do not think our packaging is
ready to go into SL 5.5, but I'd like to have it tested before putting
it into contrib, and then we'll see whether we want to put it in SL 5.6.
"DRBD is a block device which is designed to build high availability
clusters. This is done by mirroring a whole block device via (a
dedicated) network. You could see it as a network raid-1."

It's my understanding that drbd will be added to the Linux kernel (if it
hasn't been already).
You are correct. It was added in the 2.6.33 kernel.

We are doing version 8.3.7, which is the version that was put into the
kernel.
