DRBD 8.3.8 发布，文件同步系统

DRBD负责接收数据，把数据写到本地磁盘，然后发送给另一个主机。另一个主机再将数据存到自己的磁盘中。其他所需的组件有集群成员服　 　 务，如TurboHA 或 心跳连接，以及一些能在块设备上运行的应用程序。例如：裸I/O、文件系统及fsck、具有恢复能力的数据库。

该版本新增的功能如下：

1. a new "check-offline" command to detect offline resize and relocate meta-data accordingly,

2. a new "initial-split-brain" handler for better notification,...

3. a new "--assume-clean" resize option that skips synchronization of new space after resize,

4. improvements in resync for WAN/proxy connections

ChangeLog：

* Do not expose failed local READs to upper layers, regression introduced　in 8.3.3

* Fixed support for devices with 4k hard sector size (again)

* Fixed a potential Oops in the disconnect code

* Fixed a race condition that could cause DRBD to consider the peers disk　as Inconstent after resync instead of UpToDate (Bugz 271)

* Fixed a reace condition that could cause DRBD to consider the peers disk　as Outdated instead of Inconsistent during resync (Bugz 277)

* Disallow to start a resync with invalidate / invalidate-remote when the　source disk is not UpToDate

* Forcing primary works now also for Consistent, not only for Outdated and　Inconsistent (Bugz 266)

* Improved robustness against corrupt or malicous sector addresses when　receiving data

* Added the initial-split-brain, it gets called also if the split-brain gets　automatically resolved

* Added the --assume-clean option for the resize command, it causes drbd to　not resync the new storage after an online grow operation

* drbdadm: Do not segfault if stacked-on-top-of refers to an undefined res

* drbdadm: Do not consider configs with invalid after statements as invalid

* drbdadm: Do not segfault if the peer's proxy section is missing

* drbdadm: Allow nullglob in include statement

* drbdadm: Fixed the use of waitpid

* init script: fix insserv headers (Debian 576901)

* Gave the receiving code the ability to use multiple BIOs for writing a　single data packet; now DRBD works with BIOs up to 32kByte also on LVM　devices; from now on the use_bmbv config option does nothing

* New command check-resize, that allows DRBD to detect offline resizing and to move internal meta-data accordingly

* Added a control loop, that allows DRBD to find auto tune the resync　speed, on connections with large queues (drbd-proxy)

* --dry-run option for connect; disconnects after sync handshake

* --overwrite-data-of-peer got an alias named --force

* Improvements to crm-fence-peer

* Fixed option parsing and stacking in snapshot-resync-target-lvm.sh

* Compiles on 2.6.33 and 2.6.34
