SUSE Linux 10.1 Alpha3 is ready, and the first mirrors have it published.

I am trying to install DRBD on OSS10 x86_64.

cat /proc/version : Linux L10-X1 2.6.13-15-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) #1 Tue Sep 13 14:56:15 UTC 2005

uname -a : Linux L10-WS-AWS1 2.6.13-15-default #1 Tue Sep 13 14:56:15 UTC 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

I noticed that there are some differences to SuSE 9.3's /dev directory contents. I need the /dev/drdb devices present in SuSE 9.3, which does not exist under OSS 10. In fact, there seems to be many directories not in OSS10 that were in SuSE 9.3.

DRBD should have an officially assigned device major number (147). Where is it in OSS10? (For refs see the DRBD Howto Build and Intall DRBD; www.drbd.org/ and the download on http://oss.linbit.com/drbd/drbd-0.7.14.tar.gz)

Devices are generated by udev automatically if needed. drbd comes with SUSE Linux 10.0 and if the devices are not created properly, I suggest to create a bugreport in our bugzilla,

Today I installed the drbd package. I am running SUSE Linux 10.0. The init script for drbd automatically loads the drbd module with 'start' and unloads it with 'stop'. I followed the basic HOWTO (skipping the built/install/etc) here: http://www.drbd.org/drbd-howto.html All I really did was prepare a block device on two machines from their LVMs, edit /etc/drbd.conf using the sample included with the package as a base. I copied /etc/drbd.conf to both machines, edited the firewall to allow the traffic, and then /etc/init.d/drbd start on the first machine showed that it loaded the drbd module and did stuff. /etc/init.d/dbrd start on the second machine and they talked with each other. Finally, I told drbd which one was the 'primary' and it started syncing. It works perfectly for me and is SO COOL. -- Carpe diem - Seize the day. Carp in denim - There's a fish in my pants! Jon Nelson
