Hi everyone,
along with the rc1 release of DRBD 9.0.0, we are releasing
another pre-release of drbdmanage.
Here are some of the new features of this release:
- drbdmanage volumes are created with specified net size
now; drbdmanage calculates the space required for
DRBD meta-data and adds it to the space required for
the actual data
- this also works the other way around: drbdmanage
can report the net amount of free space, so that when
you create a new DRBD volume, you will have that much
space for actual data - because the space required for
the resource's meta-data had already been considered
when drbdmanage reported the amount of remaining
free space
- there is a "free-space n" command now; it tells you
the maximum size for an n-tuple redundant volume
- volumes created by drbdmanage do no longer stay
in the "Primary" role on one of the drbdmanage nodes
after initialization; you can begin to use them immediately
- creating a new drbdmanage cluster has even more
automation built in now;
if ssh keys are present, drbdmanage can attempt to
run the join command on the newly added node
remotely through ssh, so you are no longer
required to copy&paste the join command to the
new node
- more comfortable usage: most list output is
sorted now, the size argument of the "new-volume"
command takes unit suffixes (e.g., "35gb"), and there
are shortcut aliases for many commands
(for example, try "nn" instead of "new-node")
If you have questions, or if you would like to provide feedback,
feel free to post to the mailing list, or to visit our IRC channel
at FreeNode #drbd9+drbdmanage.
Best regards,
Robert
