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

Thanks
