Especially concerning master/slave behaviour - there have been some huge improvements since the August release you are refering to - and it is preferred to run drbd as a master/slave resource in heartbeat. Anyway. I installed that backport package. dopd and drbd-peer-outdater work as expected. But apart from that: hardly any of the tests I made with the recent heartbeat version succeed with this package. E.g. I cannot switch master/slave mode as expected, Constraints with the master role give old/known/fixed problems when migrating a resource. So it really seems like a problem of the package I am - and a lot of other users are - using. So what can we all get out of this? It would be nice to know how to build dopd and the drbd-peer-outdater from a certain drbd version with a recent heartbeat version. The instructions in the README file (in the drbd tools/ subdirectory) bring up the errors I posted earlier. dopd.c from Andrews recent code (2.1.*2*-24) is different from drbd-8.0.7's code and both are different from linux-ha.org's 2.1.2 release. So these questions come up: Are dopd and drbd-peer-outdater maintained in heartbeat or in drbd? Which version should we consider "recent"? Are dopd and drbd-peer-outdater bound to one heartbeat and/or drbd version? The docs are quite thin here - or please point out where to find them. I think this information might help a lot of people.
