Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I think this needs attention, so setting Importance to High. Usually SRU policy generally frowns on this kind of update, but it may make sense given that the kernel is being bumped. I appreciate you bringing it up. I believe it will be possible to run the old kernel. Will the new drbd work with both? ** Changed in: drbd8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu High Availability Team, which is subscribed to drbd8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1103656 Title: Update Precise drbd8-utils to 8.3.13 for the 12.04.2 release Status in “drbd8” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: According to https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel- announce/2013-January/001003.html, Precise 12.04.2 will ship with kernel 3.5.0.
