<br>
<br>
This is the 'stable' release with the new virtual partition table<br>
feature, which allows one to reuse existing NTFS data partitions<br>
as WinDRBD backing devices. There were only two minor changes,<br>
compared to the 1.1.4-rc1 version: one affects the use of drive<br>
letters: they should not be specified in the WinDRBD config and<br>
are ignored from now on (a warning is printed). The other change<br>
is a fix for a memory leak introduced in the 1.1.4-rc1 release. <br>
<br>
From the 1.1.4-rc1 announcement:<br>
<br>
Since proper Windows "block" devices are Disks for the Windows
<br>
system and Disks are expected to be partitioned, we emulate a
<br>
virtual GPT partition table at the "upper" interface (where the
<br>
SCSI requests are handled). This causes Windows to stack
<br>
the PARTMGR and DISK drivers (and probably others) over the
<br>
disks such that applications such as MS SQL server run without
<br>
issues.
<br>
<br>
As always an installer with a signed driver can be downloaded from:

Best regards and as always your feedback is highly apreciated,<br>
