I'm unable to obtain DRBD-related packages from the community repository for Proxmox VE 8. After installation, the system shows it's running a "test" version. Does Proxmox VE 8 actually support DRBD? I'm getting kernel-related errors, but I can't find or install a stable kernel version.
Unable to obtain DRBD-related support from the community edition repository.

- Start date
AFAIK, it was supported in the past, yet it is not anymore according to the storage overview. As with everything in Linux, you can use it on your own risk and support it by yourself and run it with PVE.
DRBD is now managed by Linbit:

There is no difference between the versions with and without subscription. The subscription doesn't give you additional features but:
- For all subscription levels starting with "Community subscription":
- Disable the nag-screen
- Give access to the enterprise-repositorys. Normally new versions of the software first gets pushed to the test and no-subscription repositorys. So if you don't have a subscription you basically pay by geing an unpayed beta tester. For my homelab that's a fair deal. In a corporate environment I would insist that my company spends money to get a version where new bugs of new versions are hopefully already solved.
- For subscription levels starting with "basic":
- Support from the Proxmox team
- Depending on the level the reaction times and number of free tickets are different
- Removal of the nag-screen in Proxmox Datacenter Manager and access to it's enterprise repo (works the same as above)
- For subscription levels starting with "standard":
- Remote support via ssh
