Description g.danti 2017-01-17 15:03:26 UTC

Description of problem:
DRBD is an extremely useful addition for replication tasks. While it is included by default on vanilla kernel >= 2.6.33, Red Hat decided to _not_ include it on their kernels, nor to include the required userland tools in their repositories. EPEL should fix that. Moreover it appears that in the past EL7 DRBD packages were available on fedoraproject [1], but they are now gone.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
After enabling EPEL, try searching for drbd using yum

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install epel-release
2. yum search drbd
3. the only packages found is 'drbdlinks' and 'collectd-drbd'

Actual results:
No drbd packages are found

Expected results:
drbd packages should be availables

Comment 1 Major Hayden 🤠 2017-01-17 15:06:06 UTC

The DRBD packages for EL7 are already available in ELRepo:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/drbd84-utils

I previously tried to get this into EPEL but I received a *ton* of negative feedback due to the ELRepo package conflict. If you have ideas on how to get around that, I'm all ears!

Comment 2 Scott Williams 2018-08-15 23:59:23 UTC

Note that they only have drbd8.4 on ELRepo, which is not the current stable release of drbd-9 - https://github.com/LINBIT/drbd-9.0

Comment 3 g.danti 2018-08-16 07:12:22 UTC

Please note that DRBD9 is a complete rewrite by Linbit, with increase scope and complexity and which is not as stable as the old 8.4.x releases. While would be great for EPEL to have *both* DRBD 8.4.x and 9.x in its repositories, I would especially press for the former (8.4.x) to be made available.

Comment 11 Richard Neuboeck 2020-08-06 11:33:11 UTC

Thanks for adding the utility packages. What's still missing is the actual kernel module if I'm not mistaken. I ELRepo it's called kmod-drbd. Would it be possible to add that to EPEL too?
