[DRBD-announce] drbd-8.3.2.tar.gz

[Philipp Reisner]

Hi,

Here it is: The final drbd-8.3.2 release!

Highlights:
 * optional compression of the bitmap exchange
 * new OCF resource agent [Considered as BETA for now.]
 * fencing callback, working on top of CRM-constraints

BTW, the updated users guide will be released on on Monday.

Full changelog:

8.3.2 (api:86/proto:86-90)
--------
 * Fixed the "Not a digest" issue for hash functions already ported to shash
 * Fixed a race condition between device configuration and de-configuration
 * Fixed: The sync-after logic modified flags of an unconfigured
   device. This caused very weird symptoms later. (Bugz 214)
 * Fixed a possible imbalance of the 'pe' counter during online verify
 * Fixed activity-log reading; could have been (partially) ignored,
   leading to incomplete resync after primary crash.
 * Fixed a deadlock when using automatic split brain recovery
 * Fixed a possible kernel crash in DRBD on highmem kernels. Was triggered by
   reading in the bitmap on one device, and writing data to an other, disconnected
   devices at the same time.
 * Fix for potential segfaults in drbdadm's sh-status & status commands
 * Correctly clean up resync status if a detach interrupts a resync (Bugz 223)
 * Reasonable error reporting if 'drbdadm invalidate' fails because resync already runs
 * New module parameter: disable_sendpage. Workaround for a Xen on DRBD issue
 * Allow detach while being SyncTarget (Bugz 221)
 * Optional RLE compression of the bitmap exchange ('use-rle' keyword)
 * Rewrite of the LRU code
 * Allow to skip initial resync: 'drbdadm -- --clear-bitmap new-current-uuid'
 * Upon request of Dolphin NICS: The 'sci' keyword is now called 'ssocks'
 * Allow more than two host ('on' keyword) sections, new drbdadm option '--peer'
 * New, alternate keyword 'floating' for host sections, for matching by ip-address
 * An OCF resource agent for pacemaker [Marked as BETA for this release]
 * crm-fence-peer.sh: A fence peer handler using pacemaker constraints
 * /etc/init.d/drbd stop now works completely independent of the config file
 * arbitrary custom device names (prefix drbd_ required)
 * Code cleanups for Linux mainline submission (no functional change)
 * Using Linux's own tracing framework instead of our own
 * Compatibility with Linux 2.6.30 and 2.6.31-rc1
