I'm using it right now on some servers with 3.0 kernels (Ubuntu with backported kernel, using drbd 8.4.1 just as is), and on other servers with 2.6.32 kernel (Debian squeeze) with this patch added: http://git.drbd.org/gitweb.cgi?p=drbd-8.4.git;a=commitdiff;h=55a81dc Now, if you are using/going to use kernel 3.3 on your servers: you should think twice, as a mainline kernel, it is prone to stability bugs more often than stable kernels, If I were you, I would use 3.2, or just stay with whatever the Linux distribution came (as long as you are using a stable release from your distro). I mean, I know there are reasons why one would like to upgrade kernel, but unless the reasons are so critical that you can risk kernel crashes, you should avoid doing that. Now, last, but not least: if you want to still use 3.3 kernel, you are likely have to wait, or try git HEAD for drbd, instead of 8.4.1 (even then, I'm not sure if it will work on 3.3 kernel)... however, that's, also, not yet stable, and thus: increased bug probability.
