So many things that used to be supported were dropped. To my knowledge, DRBD was never actually supported. Which would mean Red Hat's co-operation with Linbit has only ever increased over time - something I can't imagine changing. > DRBD, unlike most other dropped programs, is still supported, just not by RH directly. They worked out an agreement with LINBIT to allow officially supported RHEL systems to be fully supported when they ran DRBD. The agreement was that RHEL users who needed DRBD support specifically would be routed to LINBIT for that support. > > So though it's changed, it is still supported. > > -- > Digimer > Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ > What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education? > _______________________________________________ > Linux-HA mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha > See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
