Bug 65407 – Latest drbd ebuild available is 0.6.x, which does not run on 2.6.x kernels (they need drbd 0.7.x)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Luca Lesinigo 2004-09-26 08:15:55 UTC]

Latest available ebuild of drbd is 0.6.x, and it does not compile against 2.6.x kernels (as stated in drbd documentation).
We need drbd 0.7.x for that.

This also blocks any upgrade from 2.4.x to 2.6.x on machines using drbd, or blocks using drbd on 2.6.x machines...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge development-sources -or- gentoo-dev-sources -or- any other 2.6.x kernel
2. configure it
3. try to use drbd 0.6.x
Actual Results:  
drbd did not compile.

Expected Results:  
drbd 0.7 would work well

drbd-0.7.5.ebuild

[Comment 2 Brian Jackson (RETIRED) 2004-10-02 11:46:35 UTC]

can someone try this? also if someone could try this on 2.4, that would help
since I don't have any 2.4 kernels to test on

you'll need to copy the init and conf.d scripts to 0.7.5-*

testrun of .07.5 ebuild + init + conf files

I tested this ebuild on 2.6.7-mm4
the file /etc/conf.d/drbd has wrong info (line 89 in my log)
after removing the init from the ebuild everything seems to work fine
loading as a module with 4 resources

[Comment 4 Jason Pincin 2004-11-17 14:27:26 UTC]

I just used this ebuild to emerge drbd-0.7.5 on a Gentoo system running gentoo-sources-2.4.26-r9.  The module installed fine, though I did need to use FEATURES="-sandbox" as I got access violations.  The module loads and unloads fine via modprobe/rmmod.  I do not have drbd actually running any drives at the moment on these two systems, but will soon.

drbd-0.7.7.ebuild

Update the ebuild, now is more simple
Remove deps to heartbeat, isnot necessary
use inherit linux-mod
use init.d and drbd.conf from original 

This version compile ok with kernel 2.6.10

drbd-0.7.7 in the portage works fine with the 2.6.x series

[Comment 9 INODE64 Sistemas 2005-01-24 08:28:14 UTC]

In the final ebuild dont remove:

        # needed by drbd startup script
        keepdir /var/lib/drbd

In 0.7.x is not necesited

and add:

dodoc upgrade_0.6.x_to_0.7.0.txt upgrade_0.7.0_to_0.7.1.txt

[Comment 10 Christian Zoffoli (RETIRED) 2005-01-24 08:52:54 UTC]

upgrade_0.6.x_to_0.7.0.txt upgrade_0.7.0_to_0.7.1.txt added in cvs.

I plan to delete the old ebuild when drbd-0.7.x will be marked stable.
