Dear DRBD users,

This is version 1.9.0 of drbd-reactor. We did not find any issues in the
RC phase.

It mainly contains one new feature related to what is known as automatic
switch back:

So far when preferred-nodes were set they also were taken into account
when a service was already running on a lower priority node and the
higher priority node joined later. In this case the lower priority node
stopped the local service and (most likely) the higher priority node
took over.

It is a valid use case not wanting to switch back if services are
running and a higher priority node joins. One might want to keep the
running services on the lower priority node. This is now implemented via
preferred-nodes-policy, which can be "always" (default and old behavior)
or "start-only".

Regards, rck
