Hi,
to all users of drbd-9.0.2: You want to upgrade to 9.0.3. We fixed a
significant number of serious bugs and a even higher number of other
bugs. It works a lot better now!
An interesting change is that it allows now multiple primary that
are not directly connected when:
a) Both primaries are diskless
b) Both have connections to a common secondary with disk
That, of course, is useful for diskless hypervisors connected to
one or multiple storage nodes. For live migration of a VM between
such hypervisors this functionality is necessary.
We enhanced DRBD-utils for drbd-9 in many ways. Lots of it was driven
by drbdmanage's requirements. With DRBD being used as a software defined
storage solution for OpenStack, OpenNebula, Proxmox, ... we began
work to support higher number of resources/volumes. Expect more of that
in the future.
PS: Expect a drbdmanage release tomorrow, it will require the news
drbd-utils release and you want to have the new kernel driver
anyways.
drbd
9.0.3-1 (api:genl2/proto:86-111/transport:14)
--------
* fix a deadlock in try_become_up_to_date()
* fix an unintended overlay of an internal peer device flag and a device flag
The bug manifested itself that sometimes DRBD forgot to create a new
current UUID
* Create a new current UUID when the peer's disk breaks, do not wait
for a following write
* In case of an auto-promote event with no up-to-date data present wait
also wait for an connection with an up-to-date data peer for the time
of the auto-promote-timeout
* mark permanently diskless nodes in the meta-data of all nodes
* rework online resizing
* fix a reace condition that triggered a BUG() because it called
add_timer() twice for the same timer object
* fix multiple causes of outdated disks not becomming up-to-date
after no longer being weakly connected
* removed a use of an uninitialized value that might lead to an
unexpected outdate of the local disk upon disconnect
* found and fixed why sometimes a P_TWOPC_ABORT packet did not reached
all nodes of a cluster; that was the reason for hanging two-phase
commits
* Allow multiple diskless primaries if they are connected to a common
secondary that has a disk
* empty flush requests no longer trigger a bogus "IO ERROR" log entry
* restored the new-current-uuid --clear-bitmap functionality to skip
the initial resync

drbd-utils
8.9.7
--------
* allow to pass peer device options on the drbdadm command-line
* fix drbdadm net-options by not passing the transport
(the transport of a connection can not be changed while the connection is
online)
* options passed on the drbdadm command-line now overrule settings from
the configuration file when calling drbdsetup
* new resource option max-io-depth (v9 only)
* allow partial adjust by --skip-disk and/or --skip-net
* support for a new meta-data flag that helps resize operations
* workaround for sysfs entries and del_gendisk and add_disk;
in case drbdsetup sees those sysfs entries it exits immediately,
that prevents half initialized drbd devices that can not be removed
* drbdadm resize waits until new new size is user visible
* support for the reload operation in the OCF resource agent
* drbdadm's parser now reports too long strings with a meaningful
error message
* increased the size of the uniqueness hash-table, to support up to
to 1000 resources
