[elrepo] Announcement: EL5 Updated kmod-drbd84 Release [Version 8.4.0]

[Dag Wieers]

Announcing the release of updated kmod-drbd84 packages into the EL5 elrepo
testing repository:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-drbd84

This package provides an updated DRBD driver, version 8.4.0, and
is kABI compatible with all kernels from 5.3 (kernel-2.6.18-128.el5)
upwards.

It is built to depend upon the specific ABI provided by a range of
releases of the same variant of the Linux kernel and not on any one
specific build.

The following files are currently syncing to the mirrors:

You may update your system by:

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo-testing update kmod-drbd84 drbd84-utils

Once the packages have been updated, remember to unload the older driver
version from the kernel by restarting your DRBD resources and reloading
the DRBD driver.

BEWARE: These packages obsolete any existing drbd83 packages as this is 
the intended upgrade process by upstream. However, we don't feel confident 
forcing this upgrade process to our users, that is why these packages are 
available from the testing repository at this time.

Please test these packages and provide us with feedback.

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
