                       Bug Fix  Advisory  #2004-017

 Package Name:      drbd
 Summary:           Update to Latest Upstream Version
 Advisory ID:       TSBA-2004-017-ES
 Date:              2004-08-16
 Affected Products: tinysofa enterprise server 2.0

 ===========================================================================

 Description
 -----------

    DRBD is a distributed replicated block device. It mirrors a
    block device over the network to another machine, somewhat akin to a
    networked RAID 1. It is a building block for setting up high
    availability (HA) clusters.

 Issues Addressed
 ----------------

    The drbd package has been updated to version 0.7.2 to address the 
    following issues:

    * Proper handling of backing storage devices that occasionally fail 
      READA (=read ahead) requests. (E.g. LVM and MD)

    * DRBD now fails READA requests itself, if a resynchronisation is
      running and it would need to fetch the block from its peer.

    * "drbdadm adjust" had a race, which caused random errors. ( Missing
      waitpid() ). Fixed now.
 
    * Proper subtract SyncPause times from the syncer performance numbers.

    * Fix to the syncer progress bar in /proc/drbd.
