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.
