Description Hector Martin 2017-02-26 08:49:14 UTC

Bug 360483 turned off usage reporting by default, but now the setting moved to /etc/drbd.d/global_common.conf and it's on by default again.

Just installing drbd caused a usage report behind my back and terminal spam when doing something unrelated:

# /etc/init.d/libvirtd stop
 * Caching service dependencies ...
DRBD module version: 8.4.7
   userland version: 8.4.3
you should upgrade your drbd tools!

  --==  Thank you for participating in the global usage survey  ==--
The server's response is:

you are the 7898th user to install this version
 * Stopping libvirtd ... 

Infrastructure packages shouldn't be making Internet connections for no reason. Usage reporting is fine if it *opt-in*.

I have addressed this issue (and the spurious calls of drbdadm) on the following pull request: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/4125
