Description:

This update for sbd fixes the following issues:

Update to version 1.5.0+20210720.f4ca41f

  • 'sbd-inquisitor':
  • Implement default delay start for diskless 'sbd'. (bsc#1189398)
  • Sanitize numeric arguments.
  • Tolerate and strip any leading spaces of command line option values. (bsc#1187547)
  • Tell the actual watchdog device specified with '-w'. (bsc#1187547)

Important notes on 'sync_resource_startup_default':

  • This configuration has to be in sync with the configuration in 'pacemaker' where it is called 'sbd_sync'. The syncing enabled per default will lead to syncing enabled on upgrade without adaption of the config. The setting can still be overruled via 'sysconfig'. The setting in the 'config-template' packaged will follow the default if it is left empty. It is possible to have the setting in the 'config-template' deviate from the default by setting it to an explicit 'yes' or 'no'.
