@Numérigraphe, thanks for the quick testing. To answer the question from #12 first: The version used by that package depends on the version of the kernel. So just upgrading kernel to 3.8 (or later) and booting with that kernel will cause the 8.4 utils part to be used. This unfortunately does some automatic change to the on-disk meta-data (as mentioned above). So while upgrading the kernel causes no issues, trying to boot back into an old kernel will cause a failure to bring up the drbd device. It looked to be possible to force it back but then caused a complete re-sync.

Yes it seems kind of odd as I would have expected the latest version in Raring to contain also the latest legacy version. Need to check whether there was smaller update in Precise and whether that can easily be merged. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu High Availability Team, which is subscribed to drbd8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1185756 Title: drbd8-utils not compatible with linux-lts-raring kernel in 12.04 Status in “drbd8” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “drbd8” source package in Precise: Confirmed Bug description: Request for SRU: [Impact] DRBD will not work (hang) on fresh install using Ubuntu 12.04.3 media, and will stop working on sites where the Raring Enablement Stacks is manually installed [Test Case] Install the Raring kernel in Precise, install/configure DRBD: you get "No response from the DRBD driver! 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
