Any particular reason for using 3.3 now? (I mean, you are just
testing, right?, 3.3 is not stable).

Define "stable"? It's definitely been released, a little less than a week ago.

I is declared as "mainline", meaning that it is not yet stable, in
other words: not yet production-ready. If you are going to test with
it: go ahead, but I wouldn't recommend against installing it on a
critical system.

call it as you want, testing or not stable
for me i can't use it with drbd
so i can test it on simple computers (and everything is fine)
but not on my servers.

I'm using it right now on some servers with 3.0 kernels (Ubuntu with
backported kernel, using drbd 8.4.1 just as is), and on other servers
with 2.6.32 kernel (Debian squeeze) with this patch added:

http://git.drbd.org/gitweb.cgi?p=drbd-8.4.git;a=commitdiff;h=55a81dc

Now, if you are using/going to use kernel 3.3 on your servers: you
should think twice, as a mainline kernel, it is prone to stability
bugs more often than stable kernels, If I were you, I would use 3.2,
or just stay with whatever the Linux distribution came (as long as you
are using a stable release from your distro).

I mean, I know there are reasons why one would like to upgrade kernel,
but unless the reasons are so critical that you can risk kernel
crashes, you should avoid doing that.

Now, last, but not least: if you want to still use 3.3 kernel, you are
likely have to wait, or try git HEAD for drbd, instead of 8.4.1 (even
then, I'm not sure if it will work on 3.3 kernel)... however, that's,
also, not yet stable, and thus: increased bug probability.

Sincerely,

Ildefonso Camargo

i have already all my server in production with kernel 3.2.X and drbd 8.4.1
and everything is fine
but no kernel 3.3 with drbd even with the last dev of drbd
but no problem i will be patient.

No need to hurry into next kernel version, keep up with the 3.2
releases (that you are already using) until you really need to update
(for example, if you need newest features or hardware support), if you
see at kernel.org you will note there are 8 stable versions, all of
them are maintained, so, you can safely stay with any of the stable
releases for quite some time.

Also, some Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat / CentOS /
Scientific Linux among others) maintain kernel versions for longer
than kernel.org (including security and stability), so, really, don't
take the extra administration overhead if you don't need to, your time
is valuable, and you can invest it on more interesting things than
compiling kernels.

Ildefonso Camargo
