Hello Nate, Thank you very much. I did read the URL today. I tried to follow it and I did "make all". Both "make module" and "make tools" were successful. I did see /usr/src/drbd-8.2.1/drbd/drbd.ko was built successfully. Since I'm new to Linux kernel build also, I'm really not sure what else I need to do to install the drbd module to kernel, so I did "make install", I assume it should take care updating kernel and it reported successful also. I didn't do "patch DRBD to kernel" since I saw it's an alternative to "make all", so I assume I don't need to do it. Could you let me know if I missed any step? Thank you very much.
