Merging DRBD-9.3 into the Linux Upstream
We are currently working on merging DRBD-9.3 into the Linux upstream. But how did we get here? DRBD-8.4 works only with a single peer; it is a software for two-node failover clusters. And the DRBD that comes with the upstream Linux is equivalent to drbd-8.4. The most recent release was 8.4.11, eight years ago. However, […]

Particularly, applications or pods requiring shared, network-based, “read write many” (RWX) access to storage in Kubernetes can benefit from the familiar storage solution. LINBIT® supports clients who build […]
