Dear Stefan Bader (smb), I installed the 64-bits package you posted on 1 node of each cluster and it worked mostly as expected indeed.
The first cluster has kernel 3.8. It had tools 8.4.2 installed from the sources. I uninstalled them (make unsintall was a bit buggy in that version but no mater), and replaced with your package. drbdadm --version now shows : DRBDADM_BUILDTAG=GIT-hash:\ 89a294209144b68adb3ee85a73221f964d3ee515\ build\ by\ phil@fat-tyre\,\ 2013-02-05\ 15:35:49 DRBDADM_API_VERSION=1 DRBD_KERNEL_VERSION_CODE=0x080402 DRBDADM_VERSION_CODE=0x080403 DRBDADM_VERSION=8.4.3 The second cluster has kernel 3.2. (backported by your humble servant) It had tools and module v8.3.13 installed from a custom package backported by you humble servant I upgraded to you package and drbdadm now shows : DRBDADM_BUILDTAG=GIT-hash:\ 89a294209144b68adb3ee85a73221f964d3ee515\ build\ by\ phil@fat-tyre\,\ 2013-02-05\ 15:35:49 DRBDADM_API_VERSION=88 DRBD_KERNEL_VERSION_CODE=0x08030d DRBDADM_VERSION_CODE=0x08030a DRBDADM_VERSION=8.3.10 On the second cluster, 2 out of 6 resources failed to reconnect gracefully, citing a mismatch in verify-alg. drbdadm --adjust all on the upgraded node brought it back in order. In both clusters, the drbd config was left untouched (I refused the packaged version of the config file). The module was not unloaded and primary resources remained in production.

Is the module loaded?". [Regression Potential] The current drbd8-utils must not be upgraded (it's needed for Precise & Quantal kernels), a new package must be created for the DRBD 8.4 utils. I've just installed linux-generic-lts-raring on 12.04.2 and my drbd device stoped working. Seems like drbd8-utils is not compatible with DRBD 8.4 in Kernel 3.8. I see that we can't upgrade the package since this would break compatibility with the older Kernels in Precise. But since the new Plans for the LTS-Enablement Stack [1] there should be a package like drbd8-utils-lts-raring. And the dependancies should be resolved automatically with apt. kind regards [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: linux-image-3.8.0-22-generic 3.8.0-22.33~precise1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-22.33~precise1-generic 3.8.11 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-22-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu17.2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu May 30 11:53:13 2013 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 12.04.1 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120817.3) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: linux-lts-raring UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/drbd8/+bug/1185756/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-ha Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-ha More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
