Dear DRBD and WinDRBD users,<br>
<br>
WinDRBD 1.0.0-rc5 has been released.<br>
<br>
You can download the installer (signed with SHA256 from now on)
from:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.linbit.com/linbit-software-download-page-for-linstor-and-drbd-linux-driver/#windrbd">https://www.linbit.com/linbit-software-download-page-for-linstor-and-drbd-linux-driver/#windrbd</a><br>
<br>
A lot has happened since the last 1.0.0-rc1 release, mainly patches
to<br>
improve system stability.<br>
<br>
By serializing calls to drbd_make_request we were able to fix a blue
screen<br>
which could be triggered with fio -depth >10, see <br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/LINBIT/windrbd/issues/2">https://github.com/LINBIT/windrbd/issues/2</a><br>
<br>
for details (this is also where -rc2 to -rc4 can be found).<br>
<br>
In addition the workqueue code has been reengineered which should<br>
fix a system hang we observed when doing endurance tests (I/O for<br>
3-4 weeks).<br>
<br>
Right now I am working on fixing a bug that causes drbdadm down to<br>
hang when syncing several times while I/O is going on (this will
then<br>
be -rc6). <br>
<br>
Please help with testing WinDRBD so we can find and fix remaining
bugs<br>
before we tag 1.0.0,<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot,<br>
<br>
- Johannes<br>
