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

Certainly, and I'll be more than happy to review and merge a patch. The documentation sources are here: http://git.linbit.com/?p=drbd-documentation.git;a=summary And the processing toolchain is here: https://github.com/fghaas/makedoc Please take a look at the README in the drbd-documentation checkout for instructions on how to create and contribute documentation patches. It's really quite easy, all it takes is the favorite text editor of your choice. Thanks! Cheers, Florian -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
