Will I able to setup another nod with this software?

Dear DRBD and Proxmox VE users,
please find details about LINBIT's repository for Proxmox VE users here:
http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2016-December/023418.html
right now it is for Proxmox VE 4.3, we will create one for 4.4 as soon as it is
available.

How is Sheepdog and Proxmox doing, are it stable in Proxmox and could it take over the role of DRDB for smaller cluster systems?

Please read this thread, especially this answer from Linbit:

You can get the packages for Debian Jessie here and they work also in my setup with Proxmox 4.4. I supported the Proxmox extensions of the DKMS package.
In the mentioned tread above, you will find also a discussion about my Proxmox DRBD8 Storage plugin. Maybe
it is useful for you. I have currently no no time to improve the description in the GIT repo, due to my vacation, but in that thread I added a lot how it works.

DRBD manage is back GPL. Do you plan implement back directly into Proxmox ?

Interesting move... hopefully the proxmox staff include DRBD again - one choice which fit good for some environments.

I have used DRBD9 in the past (finally more than 2 nodes!) and it works very well, but I would bet that for the sake of simplicity, Ceph will continue to dominate their attention. The GPL deal might have been the final tip off the ledge.
Yes!!!

DRBDMANAGE IS BACK GPL..
So please Proxmox staff guide us on how to upgrade to latest DRBDManage version (we are having a lot of problems with resources being move to connecting state after connection loss)
When linbit changed the license Proxmox removed the DRBD stuff. Linbit then took over development of the Proxmox plugin and created a repository for it.
You need to switch over to using linbit repo for DRBD components.

I've not seen anything to indicate that Proxmox will bring back DRBD.

I talked to proxmox support and was told they are not going to add drbd to the proxmox repository again.
I also contacted linbit about possible business support for drbd with proxmox. That was two weeks ago, no reply yet. Only the sales contact told us he (re-)forwarded our question to the technical department.
Without support from either company the risk of the cluster breaking on some future upgrade is just too high, even if everything worked fine now (which it didnd't for us: on our first experimental try we had difficulties getting a fresh proxmox 4.4 3-Node Cluster with drbd9 to work properly.).
We are currently looking into ceph as an alternative (trying to find a setup without multiplying our hosting budget).

As long as Linbit it unable to support their own products, its impossible for others like Proxmox to support anything. So if you complain about DRBD, sent the emails to Linbit.
We (or at least I) are not complaining about DRBD its far better than CEPH at least for low requirement use cases (which you obviously dont want to support). We are complaining about :
1-Linbit's really inmature choice of leaving GPL and then resumin it. Not serius thing..
2-Proxmox's inmature attitude of not resuming DRBD integration as it did in previous years.(dont have a reason for not doing it)
We dont care if you guys dont like each other, we are a community that loves open source and pays for support (if we think it worth it) but please act like serious companies.

Hector.
I do not get your point. DRBD9 plugin if offered by linbit.com, why don´t you just use it?
