Dear DRBD and WinDRBD users,<br>
<br>
We've just released a new release canidate version of WinDRBD: as
always<br>
the installer of WinDRBD 1.0.0-rc9 can be downloaded 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>
Below is the abstract from the WHATSNEW.md file: mainly stability
fixes in corner cases but<br>
also performance tuning (when SyncTarget syncing is about 5 times
faster now).<br>
<br>
Thank you for improving WinDRBD by reporting bugs (2 contributors on
the net have<br>
discovered and reported bugs for this release), <br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>
- Johannes<br>

What's new in version 1.0.0-rc9<br>
-------------------------------<br>
<br>
Use device ejection API on drbdadm secondary (or down). This should<br>
solve a BSOD on drbdadm secondary a client had.<br>
<br>
Force open counts to 0 on drbdadm secondary (or down). This should<br>
solve a handle leak (peer cannot be promoted to Primary) a client<br>
had.<br>
<br>
Updated drbd-utils shipped to 9.15.0 (was 9.12.0). Amongst other<br>
things this makes the disconnected user mode helper work.<br>
<br>
Use big pages for receiving sync packets (when sync target). This
speeds<br>
up sync by a factor 5 when WinDRBD is SyncTarget.<br>
<br>
Fixed disconnect while sync bug: On disconnect wait until all<br>
bios are completed.<br>
