Dear DRBD users, this is the first RC of the upcoming version 9.34.0. It contains improvements and fixes all over the place. The main reason for this release is the release of DRBD kernel module 9.3.1 which introduced two new parameters, namely "discard-granularity" and "tie-breaker". Please test, if we don't find any issues the final release will be about a week from now.
