Hi Philipp, At first, I would like to warmly thank you - and the Linbit team - to have created and to support DRBD.

I'm a Debian 10 user, which don't comes with a DRBD 9 package. So i did it, through the well described process DRBD 9 comes with. Particullary, I appreciate the trick to use a full docker container as a command (spatch/inria coccinelle). And I understand why you are using Coccinelle. The build complexity involved worth it. Now my problem (if we should consider it is so) - stock new Debian 10 with original kernel 4.19 on a new high grade server (Xeon 16c, 64 Go, NVMe 1To). A first attempt with 9.0.25-1 6/11/20 : - build ok - packaging ok But installing dkms_9.0.25-1_all.deb (kernel module) failed with a non-explicit debian dpkg-buildpackage message (like... error : kernel module not installed). Second attempt with the drbd version closest to the kernel version : 9.0.16-1 25/10/18 (kernel 4.19 is dated 22/10/18) All went fine. It's not a problem for us to go in production with 9.0.16-1 (we will see later / if / I am right to say so). I wonder : - how we could explain this behaviour and, maybe... - how we could fix it - why drbd 9 is not in debian 10 (and does not seem planned in debian 11, at least today) Freundliche Grüße der Insel Oléron Build process - also in case other readers would like to test drbd 9 with debian 10 * Coccinelle aptitude install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg2 software-properties-common curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo apt-key add - add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable" aptitude update apt-cache policy docker-ce aptitude install docker-ce systemctl status docker docker pull szeder/coccinelle touch /usr/local/bin/spatch chmod +x s/usr/local/bin/spatch #!/bin/bash docker run -it --rm -v "$PWD:$PWD" -w "$PWD" szeder/coccinelle spatch "$@" * Drbd - kernel module aptitude install git build-essential fakeroot debhelper dkms docbook-xsl help2man python-all python-dbus python-gobject xsltproc help2man dh-systemd flex autoconf automake po4a clitest python-natsort thin-provisioning-tools mkdir /root/sow-drbd cd /root/sow-drbd git clone https://github.com/LINBIT/drbd.git cd drbd search match between kernel date and drbd date git log --tags --simplify-by-decoration --pretty="format:%ai %d" | grep 2018 2018-10-25 11:15:45 +0200 (HEAD, tag: drbd-9.0.16-1) 2018-10-16 15:10:45 +0200 (tag: drbd-9.0.16-0rc1) 2018-08-14 13:13:50 +0200 (tag: drbd-9.0.15) 2018-05-01 00:13:42 +0200 (tag: drbd-9.0.14) 2018-04-17 10:33:08 +0200 (tag: drbd-9.0.13) 2018-04-06 14:33:03 +0200 (tag: drbd-9.0.13-0rc1) 2018-01-22 13:28:17 +0100 (tag: drbd-9.0.12) 2018-01-09 13:14:33 +0100 (tag: drbd-9.0.11) git checkout drbd-9.0.16-1 Doc build workaround : Comment out all references to the documentation in Makefile.in (search with the string "doc").
