    Removal of KSM in 1.6 was a bad idea (my opinion)

    @Halgeir: Forget 2.6.18, here we are talking about KSM! - 2.6.32 is in production use on proxmox ve 1.6 - definitely! 1.6 is not declared as beta - it is released - see the download area. And again: it is not a good idea to offer upgrades that break legal configurations. Even if Halgeir may...

    Removal of KSM in 1.6 was a bad idea (my opinion)

    I should have written: An update procedure that reuses the old 2.6.32-2 kernel automatically. - and that would not break the convention of using apt for release management without losing features and resulting in non operable systems (as written above). So everybody (including dummies...

    Removal of KSM in 1.6 was a bad idea (my opinion)

    The only bad thing in my opinion is that the new 1.6 version does not include the 2.6.32-2 kernel with KSM (from proxmox ve 1.5) for systems and admins that only want KVM and KSM - and an update procedure that reuses the old kernel version, if a running kernel 2.6.32-2 kernel is found. So...

    Is it safe to use wfc-timeout in DRBD configuration?

    Then be carefull !!! (maybe it is a split brain) Then (first) you should test both systems in split mode (separately - with only one station connected - the one station you use for testing) and then decide which box has the better/newer data (or maybe both might have valuable data) and then...

    Is it safe to use wfc-timeout in DRBD configuration?

    See the drbd manual. Without the wfc-timeout a drbd cluster will start to boot - but NOT become operable when one of the configured cluster-members (ressources) is not available - in other words: Without a wfc-timeout (or set to 0), the cluster will boot and be available ONLY if all configured...

    Is it safe to use wfc-timeout in DRBD configuration?

    If you did shutdown your servers correctly (sync drbd, stop writing to drbd, dismount drbd-volume, shutdown) - this isn't a problem: then both drbd-volumes have the same data (no split brain) and you needn't care about which one is master or slave. If you find your systems powered off and you...

    Is it safe to use wfc-timeout in DRBD configuration?

    What magic did you expect? It is exactly what happens when you do this with mirrored disks (RAID-1): - You have disk1 and disk2 in sync. - You remove your hotpluggable disk1 - You write to disk0 the file helloworld.txt - You kill the box by removing disk0 too - You put in disk1 and reboot - The...
