Hello. I have been working with the Debian maintainers (particularly ocfs2-tools) to get their packages in shape for supporting Pacemaker/corosync/openais.
I now have a complete, working Pacemaker stack with OCFS2 running on a Lucid cluster using nothing but Debian experimental packages (including redhat-cluster, ocfs2-tools, and the new ocfs2-tools-pacemaker package). The Debian folks have been very responsive, fixing all of my reported bugs; e.g., adding the udev "51-ocfs2.rules" file, eliminating the dependency on libdlm-dev, etc.: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=ocfs2-tools In my opinion, ubuntu-ha should import these upstream versions as soon as possible. Unnecessary forks are... well, unnecessary. Also the Debian experimental ocfs2-tools is up to version 1.4.4, as opposed to the ubuntu-ha PPA at 1.4.3. As an aside, I am also working with the OCFS2 developers to lift the 16 TiB single-volume restriction: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/6/29/393 Because I need it. I would love for my patch to get accepted into mainline and then somehow to make it into Maverick... But I guess it is probably too late for that (?). Anyway, just wanted to say "hello" and give you folks a nudge towards re-syncing with Debian, if you do not mind. Cheers! - Pat P.S. I have applied for membership to the ubuntu-ha group. Is there anything in particular I should be doing if I want to join? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-ha Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-ha More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
