For those of you interested in getting maximum performance out of your DRBD-based HA clusters, I am hosting a webinar on the subject on Wednesday, 8/27 at 1800 UTC (2pm Eastern, 11am Pacific).
The webinar is offered free of charge and it’s already pretty tight in terms of attendance, the event being limited to a maximum of 60 attendees. But if you’re quick, you might still stand a chance of grabbing a front-row seat. Check out this page on our website, it has all the relevant information.

Last Friday and Saturday I had the pleasure of presenting DRBD-based high availability at the 2008 Zarafa Summer Camp. What’s this Zarafa thing, you ask? Here’s a quick introduction.

Effective immediately, Thirdware, Inc. is the first DRBD Certified Partner in Japan. We are thrilled to have Motoharo Kubo-san and his team as our valued partner in this market, and are very excited that Japanese customers will have access to native-language DRBD support and consultancy as early as June.
News of this exciting partnership has been hitting the presses in Japan since this morning. We (LINBIT) followed up with our own press release later in the day.

I recently came across this blog post with the catchy title of “DRBD and MySQL: Just Say No”. Now while I have absolutely no issue with people not liking DRBD or finding that it doesn’t fit their needs, I couldn’t help but notice that the post recycles some persistent myths about DRBD, which could use some correction.
I’ve tried to reply using a blog comment, but alas it seems I was moderated to /dev/null. Enter the “Write Post” button on my trusted WordPress dashboard.

We’re thrilled to see Canonical fully integrate DRBD into the new Long-Term Support (LTS) Ubuntu Server Edition release, 8.04 “Hardy Heron”. This is the first stable Debian-based release to come with full binary package support for DRBD, so module-assistant invocations are a thing of the past on this platform. The Canonical press release is here for you to read.
We expect the “original” Debian GNU/Linux to follow suit when the next Debian release (lenny) goes stable.
