DRBD has entered a new phase. After being developed out of tree for 9 years, and after an extended review and streamlining phase since March, Phil submitted DRBD to be merged into 2.6.32 release of the Linux mainline kernel. The submission was accepted by block layer maintainer Jens Axboe, who merged DRBD in September, then deferred to the 2.6.33 merge window, and this morning Linus pulled DRBD into his tree.
That makes DRBD an integral part of Linux, starting with the 2.6.33 release expected in a few weeks’ time.
We have something to celebrate.

Thanks Domas, I’ll pass that on to the people that actually made this happen. As you know, I’m just the script kiddie and tech writer.

Florian, I didn’t mean you personally! Why would I ever?!!?

Excellent work Florian. It’s great to see a team of people pull off this kind of accomplishment. Now you all need to go hang out in Sicily for a while.

Robert, quite the contrary.
We have a Heartbeat 3.0.2 to pull off in January where we just declared a feature freeze. It’s going to be a busy December!

This is very good news for both DRBD and Linux kernel as Linux has been trying to have/mimick ZFS feature set for a while.
Congrats to Linbit & DRBD team.

That’s great news Florian to you and the Linbit DRBD team.

Congratulations, that’s great news indeed! I will make sure to mention it during my next talk about MySQL HA in two days.

Cheers Florian
too bad that the final of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS will ship with the 2.6.32 kernel :/
