This is an old blog post. Sorry, I do not intend to update ever blog
post I have ever written for ever. The only alternative is to stop
writing blog posts.

The documentation, which is the only source of truth (not some years old
blog post), states:
"The preferred way to use the plugin, starting from version 4.1.0, is
via LINSTOR resource groups and a single volume group within every
resource group. LINSTOR resource groups are described in Resource
groups. All the required LINSTOR configuration (e.g., redundancy count)
has to be set on the resource group."[1]

I tagged v4.1.0 on:
"Date: Mon Sep 16 11:30:54 2019 +0200".

People had enough time. And I announce(d) it here in the RC1. I did not
sneak it in.

Switching an existing config to RGs is trivial. I really really think
this is acceptable for not having to maintain tons of legacy layers that
would most likely introduce bugs.

Regards, rck
