[DRBD-announce] drbd-0.7.1.tar.gz

[Philipp Reisner]

Hi,

Here is the first update in the 0.7 series. 
There where no really critical bugs found, although the missing handling
of the timeout and human counters in the meta-data makes the update
to this release highly recommended.

0.7.1 (api:75/proto:74)
-----
  *) Upgrade instructions for 0.6.x -> 0.7.0 and 0.7.0 -> 0.7.1
  *) Workaround for XFS' IO requests with page count of zero.
  *) Handle the human and the timeout count correctly in the new init script.
  *) The implementation of the incon-degr-cmd was missing, added.
  *) Longer timeouts in drbdadm for drbdsetup commands witch operate on 
     meta data.
  *) New major number 147 (officially registered at lanana.org).
  *) Added a missing w_resume_next_wg() in case we stop syncing because
     of connection loss.
  *) Fixed a Linux-2.2-ismus in recieve_data_tail(). Should considerably
     speed up protocols A and B.
  *) Some work on vendor kernel compatibility


I have to stress that we got an officially major number, and that
we changed DRBD to use that new major number by default. See
http://svn.drbd.org/drbd/tags/drbd-0.7.1/upgrade_0.7.0_to_0.7.1.txt
for more details.

If you are upgrading from an 0.6.x release please have a look at
