DRBD To Be Included In Linux Kernel 2.6.33

An anonymous reader writes "The long-time Linux kernel module for block replication over TCP, DRBD, has been accepted as part of the main Linux kernel. Amid much fanfare and some slight controversy, Linus has pulled the DRBD source into the 2.6.33 tree, expected to release February, 2010. DRBD has existed as open source and been available in major distros for 10 years, but lived outside the main kernel tree in the hands of LINBIT, based in Vienna. Being accepted into the main kernel tree means better cooperation and wider user accessibility to HA data replication."

what the fuck is this shit?

How's the hope and change? Barack Obama sounds and acts more and more like George Bush on daily basis. But he's got dark skin and that's all that really matters to a liberal.

Anyhow, what the fuck is DRBD and why the fuck should I care?

A conservative would have attacked something different - they'd think it was good if Obama acted like Bush! Only a liberal would call that bad...and write a blistering screed pretending to be a racist right-winger. Also note the display of Bush Derangement Syndrome, the well-known malady when otherwise normal people go into unrelated internet comment threads and express off-topic extreme hatred. Just something to keep slashdot interesting to browse at -1!

All I have to say is that this is one of the inherent problems with Linux. Rather than the nice, logical, pristine system registry that Windows has you have a big mess of .conf files scattered all over the various disk partitions. Even the clean, responsive WIndows-type GUI cannot be found in Linux. You're stuck with some cobbled-together GUI if you're lucky. Most of the time you are left using a terminal shell like the the DOS dinosaur days. I don't want to edit a hacked-up .conf file to get my modem to work, to get my video card's refresh rate correct, or to hear my speaker beep, thank you. I will stick with Windows, which has been around for years and is the most user-friendly operating system on the planet. Heck, I remember back a few years ago our company's IT guy had the brainstorm of replacing our accounting system computers with Linux. After he found he couldn't get the accounting software to work on them the big boss yelled at him so bad that the poor guy broke down crying and swore he'd never try to push that Linux crap again. Can't say I blame him...

I here you bro. Went out to taco bell for lunch. A couple hours later, I let off some gas. Didn't realize it for a couple minutes, but when I shifted, I discovered I was sitting in a pool of liquid shit. I don't know if it was bad taco meat, or maybe the dude who fucked me in the bathroom used too much lube. Not that I would quit either. Anyone tried shoving a tampon up your ass? Maybe that would help.
