Despite what I understand from the LINBIT guides, DRBD storage (already configured disks for CT or VM) will not allow failover, if LINBIT controller is down. What I understood: you can’t reconfigure LINBIT provided DRBD storage or provision new one while Controller is down. What I experience: an a…

Again, you were a little faster than me. I spend too much time getting angry about it. Just as I realized, that there must be version mismatches between the pve and ppa repo, I read your post. :grinning: So thank you for your post! I think for today I am too annoyed to downgrade the packages and s…

[image] proxmeup: DRBDadm status is giving: /var/lib/linstor.d/linstor_db.res:10: Parse error: 'an option keyword' expected, but got 'quorum' This tells me that the DRBD 9 kernel module isn’t loaded and you’ve loaded the in-tree DRBD 8 kernel module. LINSTOR cannot manage a DRBD 8 kernel mo…

Mmmh, but DRBD 9 was running before. You can get it from the resource definition (containing the quorum keyword) and that it has been working before with controller version 1.29.2-1 . And then I apt upgraded to the latest package versions. linstor-client/unknown 1.24.0-1 all [upgradable from: 1.23.…

One thing at a time, pelase. [image] proxmeup: Mmmh, but DRBD 9 was running before. You can get it from the resource definition (containing the quorum keyword) and that it has been working before with controller version 1.29.2-1 . And then I apt upgraded to the latest package versions. linstor…

Hmm, maybe I should learn more about kernels and kernel modules, but I am pretty sure that’s this has given me version 9 before (all on PVE-1): root@pve-1:~# apt install proxmox-default-headers drbd-dkms drbd-utils Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state informa…

It seems that the ppa now has updated packages as well. So… systemctl disable --now linstor-satellite # on both PVE nodes apt dist-upgrade # on the controller (still running in the old VM) systemctl enable linstor-controller --now # on the controller apt dist-upgrade # on the PVE nodes systemctl en…

That is very annoying. I got hit by that as well. Now I have no way back, because the ppa doesn’t seem to keep prior versions. So there is no tiebreaker until this is resolved. At least not a Raspberry PI.

Even more annoying is the lack of caring by LINBIT.

The version mismatches between the PPA and the public Proxmox repos is annoying, and was an oversight on LINBIT’s part. Our devs and tests didn’t consider users mixing where they’re getting packages from. We’re resolving that now. The build pipeline for the PPA is running and LINSTOR 1.30.2 should …

@proxmeup I’m using several open-source products, and in 70% of the cases, there is a complete lack of interest on the side of the developers on interacting with the community. I’m talking about issues being closed before they are even looked at, just by some robot, or issues, even actual confirmed …
