DRBD 9.0.3 and drbdmanage 0.97

[dendi]

Dear Proxmox Staff,

I'm currently testing a DRBD9 cluster and just like to get feedback for implementation of new version:

http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-announce/2016-July/000222.html
http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2016-July/023079.html

DRBD developers tells that this version solves many bugs and shoud be more usable.
The resize implementantion with drbdmanage now is ok

Do you plan to update shortly the current package in repository?

Thank you for your support

We are already testing this (package updates are already in our git repository).

 

[dendi]

Thank you for your feedback, I will wait for updates

Where do we report a bug? Updated to this version. Now on reboot the server seems to delete /var/lib/drbd.d/*.res files. Not sure if it is on reboot or on startup.

Same here; it is causing (for instance) unusability of drbdadm command (cannot find resource), and many resync issues.

At the moment i trigger recreation of /var/lib/drbd.d/*.res files issuing a series of:

drbdmanage net-options --resource <target resource>  --max-buffers 8000

or similar.

I asked about *.res files on drbd-user ml; it seems that's a fix in 0.97.1 or 0.97.2 (now in git).

Is this bug the reason because the new version is not in PVE enterprise repository?
The fixes will be merged from git or you will wait the "official" release?
Thank you!

Good question. 0.97.1, and also 0.97 (and of course 0.97.2) are indeed not even in no-subscription repo.

drbdmanage 0.97 has been in the no-subscription repo for quite a while (July 26th), the two newer minor releases have not yet been tested yet by us, so they are not available yet in our repositories..

Yes, I mistakenly added 0.97 to my statement.

0.97 is still not in enterprise repo (right decision imho). May be 0.97.1 or 0.97.2 would be the right candidates; I will test them as soon as they will be in no-subscription repo.

bye,

Better a single:

drbdmanage export-res "*" # the quotes are important

Hello Fabian, thank you for your support.
I think drbdmanage 0.97.2 is a bug fix release.
So please try your best to include asap at least in no-subscription repository.
It seems that we are giving a great help to testing and development of drbd9 ;-)

If you want test it, you can rebuild package from drbd git yourself. I build it and everything seems to be ok now.
1) cd /usr/local/src
2) clone actual drbdmanage: git clone http://git.drbd.org/drbdmanage.git
3) mkdir proxmox
4) cd proxmox
5) clone proxmox version, you need only debian folder from it: git clone git://git.proxmox.com/git/drbdmanage.git and
6) now copy debian folder form proxmox git, eg. from /usr/local/src/proxmox/drbdmanage/debian to /usr/local/src/drbdmanage/debian except one file "changelog"
7) cd /usr/local/src/drbdmanage/
8) make debian package with "debuild -us -uc -b" You need debain build libraries, eg. atp-get install devscripts docbook-xsl xsltproc help2man python-all quilt dh-systemd
9) and update it with "dpkg -i drbdmanage_0.97.2-1_amd64.deb"
