[elrepo] Announcement: Updated EL5 and EL6 kmod-drbd84 and drbd84-utils [Version 8.4.3] - Released to the elrepo repository

[Akemi Yagi]

Announcing the release of updated kmod-drbd84 and drbd84-utils
packages into the EL5 and EL6 elrepo repository. They were initially
released to the elrepo-testing repository.

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

The kmod-drbd84 package provides an updated DRBD driver, version
8.4.3, and is kABI compatible with all kernels from 5.3 up
(kernel-2.6.18-128) for EL5 or from 6.4 (kernel-2.6.32-358.el6) for
EL6.

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.

You can find detailed info about drbd version 8.4.3 here:

You may update your system by:

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

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

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
