# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| drbd-kernel: drbd-kernel (Kernel Module for Distributed Replicated Block Device) drbd-kernel: drbd-kernel: DRBD is a block device which is designed to build high availability drbd-kernel: clusters. This is done by mirroring a whole block device via drbd-kernel: (a dedicated) network. You could see it as a network RAID1. DRBD drbd-kernel: takes over the data, writes it to the local disk and sends it to drbd-kernel: the other host. On the other host, it takes it to the disk there. drbd-kernel: drbd-kernel: This package provides the DRBD kernel module for pre-2.6.33 kernels. drbd-kernel: drbd-kernel: Home: http://www.drbd.org
