* Package name : drbd-dkms Version : 9.3.2 Upstream Contact: https://linbit.com * URL : https://github.com/LINBIT/drbd * License : GPL-2+ Programming Lang: C Description : DRBD kernel modules for Linux DRBD is a block device which is designed to build high availability clusters by providing a virtual shared device which keeps disks in nodes synchronised using TCP/IP. This simulates RAID 1 but avoiding the use of uncommon hardware (shared SCSI buses or Fibre Channel). It is currently limited to fail-over HA clusters. This package is useful for SDS solutions requiring a DRBD version more recent than the one in the kernel (e.g. LINSTOR). There are two advertised ways to currently install this package: using upstream's PPA or upstream's Proxmox packages. As some packages in the archive (such as Incus/sid) provide support for LINSTOR, not relying on third-party packaging feels reasonable. I currently am looking for a sponsor for this package, and would appreciate a review of my work here: <https://salsa.debian.org/bensmrs/drbd-dkms>
