[DRBD-user] WinDRBD 0.10.6 released

[Johannes Thoma]

Dear DRBD and WinDRBD users,

Exactly 10 years ago, Linbit announced a version of their DRBD
replication software for Microsoft Windows (see
https://fghaas.wordpress.com/2010/04/01/its-coming-drbd-for-windows/)

What was an April fool's joke then is today released in version
0.10.6 which is becoming more and more stable, aproaching
a 1.0 version later this year.

WinDRBD 0.10.6 is now based on the most recent DRBD sources which
is 9.0.22. Please see the release eMails from DRBD to learn about
new features (since 9.0.17).

A minor additional feature is that you can specify the IP of the
syslog server (for logging) in the boot URL (if you are booting
via WinDRBD).

As always you can download an installable image from:

(please scroll down to DRBD 9 Windows Driver)

And also as always your feedback is highly appreciated.

Happy April 1st and stay in good health ;)

- Johannes

PS: for the German speaking users: There is an article on WinDRBD
in the most recent iX computer magazine (4/20) which is worth reading.
