Hello,
I have updated the drbd packages so that they are using the Fedora style of packaging. I changed the packaging to be like Fedora's because it looks like drbd might make it into RHEL 6 (or 6.1), and if it does make it in, it will be packaged the Fedora way.

You should still be able to just do
  yum --enablerepo=sl-testing install drbd
and it should pull in all the appriate rpm's.

Here is a list of all the drbd packages.
drbd
drbd-bash-completion
drbd-heartbeat
drbd-pacemaker
drbd-udev
drbd-utils
drbd-xen

I have also added the kernel-module-drbd for the new 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5 kernel.

Please let me know what you think. I'd like to put this into contrib so that we might put it into SL 5.6.

Thanks
Troy

Hello,
We are looking at puting drbd into SL5.  I do not think our packaging is
ready to go into SL 5.5, but I'd like to have it tested before putting
it into contrib, and then we'll see whether we want to put it in SL 5.6.

"DRBD is a block device which is designed to build high availability
clusters. This is done by mirroring a whole block device via (a
dedicated) network. You could see it as a network raid-1."

It is already in atrpm's, and we are using atrpm's style of packaging at
this time.

To test

SL5
-------
       yum --enablerepo=sl-testing install drbd

or you can download rpm's by hand at
