Hi,
By the beginning of June I realized that there was no DRBD release in the
last 4 month, people could get the impression that the development stalled.
This is not the case! There were just no bugs in 0.7.10 that triggered the
release of 0.7.11 . So here is a "time triggered" release:
0.7.11 (api:77/proto:74)
-----
* The upper limit of the runtime tuning parameter max_buffers
was ways too low for today's IBM storage controllers.
Was 32 - 10000 ; Now it is 32 - 131072 ( Now one could
allow DRBD to allocate up to half a gigabyte of memory as
receive buffers)
* A fix to the Makefiles to make building of RPMs work on RAHS4.
* A workaround to have DBRD running on PPC64 with Linux-2.4.x kernels,
on Linux-2.6.x everything was fine already.
* Removal of dead code (busy_blocks).
* LINBIT drbd rpms now conflict with km_drbd
(SuSE's kernel module source hook)
* possibly existing /lib/modules/*/extra/drbd.ko are renamed to .orig in the
post-install scripts to avoid conflicts with existing modules from
distribution kernel packages
* fixed flex input buffer overflow
drbdadm_scanner.fl produced tokens of arbitrary length due to excessive use
of "+" and "*" modifiers. Now these are replaced with "{x,y}" modifiers, so
it should no longer segfault, which was actually observed e.g. with long
continuous comment blocks (~5k).
No need to upgrade for you in case you are happy with 0.7.10.
For new systems please use "seven-eleven".

BTW, It was tagged and packaged by Lars on the 8th of June.
