Dear DRBD/LINSTOR on PVE users, this is version 8.0.4 of the linstor-proxmox plugin. It contains the following fixes and improvements:
# Fix sizes when VMs with EFI disks are restored Here the problem was that restoring backups with EFI disks failed because the vzdump tool in PVE has certain assumptions. The tiny EFI disk gets created and if sizes are within 4MB it shuts up, if they are bigger it fails. The plugin had a minimal DRBD resource size of 5MB, which then got rounded up to 8MB (e.g., LVM, DRBD-meta data,...), which was no longer in the 4MB tolerance and restores failed. This is fixed and should then also allow restoring backups that previously failed. # Keep tie-breaker node When a diskless assignment gets deleted LINSTOR usually (depending on the number of nodes obviously) converts that assignment to a tie-breaker so that one still has for example 3 resources/nodes to keep quorum. Usually when a VM is then started on a tie-breaker that gets converted to a regular diskless and after use it gets downgraded to a tie-breaker again. But if LINSTOR sees a delete on a tie-breaker, it will really delete that (diskless) DRBD assignment, which perfectly makes sense and usually does not happen because of the described toggling between diskless and (diskless) tie-breaker. In certain scenarios sends 2 deletes to the plugin, then the first switches from diskless to tie-breaker, but the second then actually deletes the tie-breaker. This got fixed, but requires LINSTOR 1.28.0 or later. The plugin can be used with older LINSTOR versions, but then the described behavior stays. # Allow names as used in backup fleecing We needed to relax our name filters once more for disk names as they are used for backup fleecing. That is done, but it has to be said that using a DRBD disk for backup fleecing is a very bad idea in general, don't do it, use fast local storage such as thinlvm for that.
