Another way to build and maintain the drbd packages for SL is to go for the kABI-tracking kmods just like it was done with openafs. As Phil posted, ELRepo's kmods should work for SL users (the EL6 version is also available) and can be used as a base/guide when building ones for SL. The most apparent advantage of kmods is that they seamlessly survive kernel updates, thus eliminating the need for the developers to recompile as well as for users to reinstall upon each kernel update.

I would, too, love to see DRBD packaged as a part of SL. Pretty much the only reason why few of the machines are still CentOS and not SL here... Dag has packaged and maintains drbd83 for el5 / el6 at elrepo.org: http://elrepo.org http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-drbd83 http://elrepo.org/tiki/drbd83-utils Hope that helps.
