Replication Speed and CPU Efficiency Improvements in DRBD 9.3.1
The release of DRBD® 9.3.1 brings with it a “streaming I/O” feature. This feature means that DRBD can allocate compound pages from the kernel as I/O buffers. When applications make large I/O requests or streaming accesses, using compound pages can improve performance because DRBD will use CPU resources more efficiently. Background on DRBD memory allocation […]
Four Claude-Assisted LINBIT Projects & drbd-9.3.1
In the last few weeks, four LINBITers approached me to show me something. In all four cases, it was people not working in development. Two solution architects, one manager, and my contact for security and compliance. And all four presented LINBIT-relevant tools they created using Claude code. I therefore can’t help but notice the trend […]
Backing up or Migrating a Kubernetes Deployment by Using Velero & LINSTOR
Authors: Joel Zhou & Michael Troutman — In a Kubernetes cluster that has persistent storage managed by LINSTOR®, you bring high availability (HA) and data locality features to the persistent data that your applications and services rely on. To complement a running-in-production or enterprise Kubernetes deployment involving persistent data, you will likely want an off-site […]
Production-ready High Availability for Proxmox VE with LINSTOR
Proxmox VE is an open source platform for running and managing KVM virtual machines (VMs) and LXC containers. For an overview of the Proxmox VE platform and how it compares to other open source virtualization management platforms, you can read “Comparing Open Source Virtualization Platforms” on the LINBIT® blog. A cornerstone of Proxmox VE design is simplicity […]
