Dear DRBD users,

this is RC1 of the upcoming drbd-utils release 9.27.0. There is no too
urgent reason to upgrade if things work for you, but this release
contains some bug fixes and features:

"adjust" got improved for diskless Primaries. So far if the
configuration changed in a way that for example the (only) connection to
a diskful node would be deleted and another connection to another
diskful would have been established, the change failed because the old
connection was removed first. But this can be a valid change and now the
first failure removing the connection is retried after the other
connection is established.

Our tests (i.e., the script that executed them) did not sanitize its
environment, which was responsible for test failures if the user running
the tests was for example in an area with a '-' time offset. This should
now be fixed.

The third change are the bits needed for the improved quorum handling in
the upcoming DRBD release as announced here[1].

Please test. If we don't find any bugs, the final release will be in about a
week from now.

Regards, rck
