Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.
Yet some consideration for the interest of all.
My age has sadly brought me to see several failures of good
initiatives due to pure misunderstandings.
We have two products PVE 4 and DRBD9 that seem made for each other,
they are absolutely complementary.
We have two companies Proxmox and Linbit, both in Vienna, speaking
the same language and developing software that do not compete with
each other.
It is true that the most violent discussions take place between
brothers, but I think it's a pity having to give up such an
interesting system due to a misunderstanding.
One more thing: in the case, fairly widespread, of use of software
from the community, there is no economic gain for Proxmox nor Linbit.
163/5000
If instead people want to purchase support, it would be interesting,
for potential customers, have a single subscription with the
assistance for the two products.
So, modify the licence terms, subscribe an agreement between
companies, do whatever you want, but please, give us a system (PVE 4
+ DBRD9) fully functioning and well serviced.
You will see that your business will benefit.
Best regards,
Michele
P.S. In a previous post I made some stupid question, like this:
To upgrade to 4.4 can I use the Linbit repository? Which address is
to add on apt-get sources.list?
I suppose the Proxmox address is to be removed from list, right?
(This will be a problem for people using PVE enterprise repository,
but it's not my case).
Moreover, it's possible, after the sources.list modification, to use
update button in PVE GUI?
Can someone help me? Thanks
