Hi Guys,

looks like Nick Wang (drbd maintainer) isn't active anymore.

Do we have a plan, how to maintain the drbd stuff, specifically the kernel module. Before I wrote this, I looked into it of course, but failed (wouldn't write this mail otherwise..).

This coccinelle stuff scares me to death.

Needless to say, drbd-kmod doesn't build anymore since the release of kernel 5.18.

E-h-h ... drbd driver is part of the upstream kernel (drivers/block/drbd). What's wrong with the in-tree driver and why a separate external module is needed?

Ahh, good point Andrei, thanks. Probably because: $ zyp in drbd-utils [...] The following 3 NEW packages are going to be installed: drbd 9.0.30~1+git.8e9c0812-19.75 drbd-kmp-preempt 9.0.30~1+git.8e9c0812_k5.17.9_2-19.75 drbd-utils 9.19.0-3.5 Question is, why does drdb-utils insists in depending on drbd? $ rpm -ql drbd /usr/sbin/rcdrbd /usr/share/doc/packages/drbd /usr/share/doc/packages/drbd/ChangeLog /usr/share/licenses/drbd /usr/share/licenses/drbd/COPYING Arghh, it contains a system v5 init script adapted to systemd to do what? $ sc status drbd ● drbd.service - DRBD -- please disable. Unless you are NOT using a cluster manager. Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/drbd.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) Oh, well. Any idea how to proceed? Best, Pete
