| Summary | 0000488: kmod-drbd for el7 | ||||
| Description | We're missing kmod-drbd83 or kmod-drbd84 for el7 Thanks :) | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
| Reported upstream | |||||

At ELRepo, we are short-handed at the moment. A real issue is that no team member is actually using drbd. It would be great if someone steps up and offers to become a maintainer of the drbd packages. |
|
|
I'm not experienced enough to build up whole specfiles from scratch. Tweaking the one or other issue and building of rpms would be possible, but I need a helping hand from time to time. We're using drbd in our daily business. See me a last option :-) |
|
|
So at the least we could mark you down as a tester for packages? What are you using on RHEL7 - drbd83 or drbd84? Presumably drbd84?? Is there a usage case for both or is it reasonable to expect those who have migrated to RHEL7 to run drbd84? We don't want to have to maintain both if we don't need to. |
|

Tester is fine. Currently we're using no drbd on rhel7 - due to missing rpm's ;-) On rhel6 we're using drbd83 + drbd84 for several reasons as syntax changed between these releases and "never change a running system", lack of support from older releases of ganeti, ... But I think you can expect choosing drbd84 when installing el7 (there are so many changes in el7 anyway that need attention...) I was able to built el7-rpms based on drbd84-utils-8.4.4-2.el6.elrepo.src.rpm & drbd84-kmod-8.4.4-1.el6.elrepo.src.rpm without any further issues a few minutes ago. So we're installing the next server with el7 + drbd, "get the party started" and provide feedback ... |

I had a quick look at the latest version, 8.4.5. However, some things have changed which affect the packaging and as I don't use, therefore can not test, this package I'm probably not the best person to be packaging this. Perhaps we can link up with the CentOS folks and see if drbd can be maintained in their extras repository: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=7415 |

Hi, I am maintainer of Ganeti RPM Package. https://github.com/jfut/ganeti-rpm Ganeti RPM Package requires drbd packages provided by ELRepo(thank you so much for providing great packages), so I sent a pull request to support el7. https://github.com/elrepo/packages/pull/84 https://github.com/elrepo/packages/pull/85 If you need to support the latest version and drbd83 on el7, I will create them and also continue contribution. Thanks! |

Hi jfut, Many thanks for the contribution. I'm merged the commit and will try to get the packages built and into the testing repository in a couple days. I'll add a note here when that happens. |
|

Thanks for merging them. As a supplemental explanation, customizing drbd module options by using /etc/default/drbd are not supported on drbd.service. If we need to customize them, we use something like this: echo "options drbd minor_count=128 usermode_helper=/bin/true" > /etc/modprobe.d/drbd.conf systemctl stop drbd.service # If drbd resources would be still active: drbdadm down all rmmod drbd systemctl start drbd.service On the other hand, the SysV init script provided by drbd84-utils-sysvinit supports still /etc/default/drbd. |

The following packages have been built and are currently syncing to the el7 testing repository: http://elrepo.org/linux/testing/el7/x86_64/RPMS/ kmod-drbd84-8.4.4-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm drbd84-utils-8.4.4-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm drbd84-utils-sysvinit-8.4.4-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm Please could you test and confirm they work as expected, at which point we can promote them to the main release repository. I made a few minor changes to your original submissions, which can be seen on today's github commits: https://github.com/elrepo/packages/commits/master Thanks again for the contribution. |

Thanks for fixing and syncing to the el7 testing repository. I confirmed a series of operations such as drbdadm create-md, new-current-uuid, primary/secondary, down, up, invalidate, full re-sync, systemctl start/stop drbd.service, and /etc/init.d/drbd start/stop. They work fine! |
|
|
Brilliant, thanks very much. I will promote the packages from testing to the main elrepo repository. Would you be interested in helping to update to version 8.4.5? I did have a quick look but there are some major looking changes. There is no longer any Configure options, and the utils package is now built from a separate source. I could probably get the kmod package built, but I've no idea what you guys need from the utils package so that would definitely best be handled by someone whose actually using it. |

Thanks for releasing! > Would you be interested in helping to update to version 8.4.5? Certainly. I'll try to build the version 8.4.5. The upstream spec file in drbd-utils-8.9.0.tar.gz build separate binaries, such as /usr/sbin/drbdsetup for the version 9.0 and /lib/drbd/drbdadm-84 for the version 8.4. At the version 8.4, /lib/drbd/drbdadm-84 path causes some problems for a referenced script, so I think it's good that ELRepo provides drbd84-utils-8.9.0 package which have the same path as version 8.4.4. |
|
|
I sent a pull request to update to latest version. https://github.com/elrepo/packages/pull/94 https://github.com/elrepo/packages/pull/95 This patch don't exchange legacy *-84 commands because it seems that drbdadm and drbdsetup of drbd-utils-8.9.0 are compatible with them. I confirmed a series of operations with drbd84-8.4.5 and drbd84-utils on el7/el6/el5. Thanks! |

Thanks for the submission. We have built and released the packages to the elrepo-testing repository (so far el6 and el7 only). Please test when you get a chance. el6: drbd84-utils-8.9.1-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm kmod-drbd84-8.4.5-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm drbd84-utils-8.9.1-1.el6.elrepo.i686.rpm kmod-drbd84-8.4.5-1.el6.elrepo.i686.rpm drbd84-kmod-8.4.5-1.el6.elrepo.src.rpm drbd84-utils-8.9.1-1.el6.elrepo.src.rpm el7: drbd84-utils-sysvinit-8.9.1-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm drbd84-utils-8.9.1-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rp kmod-drbd84-8.4.5-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm drbd84-kmod-8.4.5-1.el7.elrepo.src.rpm drbd84-utils-8.9.1-1.el7.elrepo.src.rpm Note: one minor change made to the drbd84-utils.spec file was to add, BuildRequires: libxslt which was needed for building the packages in mock. |
|
|
Thanks for fixing and releasing to the testing repository. I confirmed them on el6 and el7. They work fine! |
|
|
That was very fast. :) We will give it another day or so before promoting them to the main repository just in case the OP would also like to test. Also we will build the el5 packages. |
|
|
The el5 packages have been released to the elrepo-testing repository and are currently syncing to the mirrors. el5: drbd84-utils-8.9.1-2.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm kmod-drbd84-8.4.5-1.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm kmod-drbd84-xen-8.4.5-1.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm drbd84-utils-8.9.1-2.el5.elrepo.i386.rpm kmod-drbd84-8.4.5-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm kmod-drbd84-PAE-8.4.5-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm kmod-drbd84-xen-8.4.5-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm drbd84-utils-8.9.1-2.el5.elrepo.src.rpm drbd84-kmod-8.4.5-1.el5.elrepo.src.rpm |
|
|
Thanks, they work fine on el5 kernel and kernel-xen. |
|
|
Glad that you can test all versions. :-) We will promote all packages to the main repository. |
|
|
Thanks, my cluster update successfully completed! |

I am now closing this report as 'resolved'. If there is an issue, please open a new bug. |
