Recommended update for DRBD
SUSE Recommended Update: Recommended update for DRBD
This update updates the Distributed Replicated Block Device
(DRBD) component of SLES HAE 11 SP2 to version 8.4.2
(FATE#313824, bnc#751135), providing many fixes and
improvements:
* Fixed a race condition that could cause DRBD to go
through a NetworkFailure state during disconnect
(bnc#775930)
* Fixed IO resuming after connection was established
before fence peer handler returned
* Fixed an issue in the state engine that could cause
state lockup with multiple volumes
* Write all pages of the bitmap if it gets moved during
an online resize operation
* Fixed a race condition in the disconnect code path
that could lead to a BUG()
* Fixed a write ordering problem on SyncTarget nodes
for a write to a block that gets resynced at the same time.
* Fixed a potential deadlock during restart of
conflicting writes
* Disable the write ordering method "barrier" by default
* Removed a null pointer access when using
on-congestion policy on a diskless device
* In case of a graceful detach under IO load, wait for
the outstanding IO
* Reinstate disabling AL updates with invalidate-remote
* Reinstate the 'disk-barrier no', 'disk-flushes no',
and 'disk-drain no' switches
* Support FLUSH/FUA bio flags
* New option 'al-updates no' to disable writing
transactions into the activity log.
Please refer to the package change log for more details.
