DRBD takes over the data, writes it to -the local disk and sends it to the other host. On the other host, it takes it -to the disk there. - -Starting with Linux 2.6.33, DRBD is officially integrated into the vanilla -Linux kernel source. Besides the kernel integration, DRBD continues to be -developed out of tree. - -If you have a 2.6.33 kernel, you should use the DRBD module shipped with -your kernel, or compile it from your kernel sources if it is not available -in your current configuration. - -If you have an earlier kernel version then DRBD can be built as a module, -or it can be patched into the kernel. This build creates a kernel module -based on your current kernel using /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build as the -kernel source tree. This may not be appropriate for you and you may need to -edit either KERNEL (uname -r) or KERNELPATH (/lib/modules/2.6.x-foo/build) -environment variable to point to the correct source or headers. |
