direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

The point is DRBD-SSI includes the modifications so that OpenSSI can coordinate its root filesystem failover with DRBD failover such that the failover will be automatic and appear seamless. HP sponsors OpenSSI (http://opensource.hp.com/ under Clustering), so I doubt the project will suddenly disappear. We've also plans to include OpenSSI into the Ubuntu project. The kernel-2.4 fork is stable. The up coming kernel-2.6 development release will be near stable. You are free to try. Give us feedback. Thanks. Roger
