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.

After a month of intense public review by our community users and contributors, we have made the initial “official” release of the DRBD User’s Guide.
This does not only include helpful information about building, installing, and configuring DRBD, but also on DRBD integration with Xen and LVM, Heartbeat, and many other applications. MySQL users will find the example MySQL HA configurations for both Heartbeat R1 and Heartbeat CRM clusters particularly helpful.
The release announcement is here: http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2008-March/009071.html

In case you are visiting the MySQL Users Conference & Expo this year (April 14-17, Santa Clara, California, highly recommended), these are the sessions where you can watch Phil and myself presenting about DRBD:
Monty Taylor is also doing a High Availability talk that will be touching upon DRBD to some extent:
The scheduling information as found on the conference web site is still subject to change, but both the tutorial and the presentations are confirmed.
