Generally, I'd agree. drbd .58 on 2.2.18 with ext2 and no software raid
worked great. I couldn't break that thing if I tried, but now, something
has gone very wrong, and I don't know where. drbd 61pre6 on 2.4.9, linear
software raid and ext3 was a very, very bad thing and I almost lost my shirt
- thank god for backups.
I sent my error messages, but got no response. Others have the same
problem, so I'm not the only one. We're starting to think that it might
have something to do with running drbd on software RAID - I wouldn't be
surprised.
Does anyone have drbd working reliably on a 2.4.x kernel using a software
raid array and ext3?
Cheers,
Dan
