Any chance to run on kernel 6.1+ (Debian stable) ?

Open woodholly opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Debian stable is running kernel 6.1 right now, I tried to port mars to 6.1 but failed immidiately. Then I tried to port mars to kernel 5.10 (to run on debian oldstable), and failed again - so many changes to kernel_setsockopt I am not familiar with, but I am still trying :) So we stuck to 4.9 and 5.4 kernel ? What OS would you recommend for 5.4 ?

Why: there is no alternative to mars, DRBD geo replication is fake without their proprietary DRDB Proxy with unknown price lol.

UPDATE: after two days of kernel hacking I have found WIP-qio-for-5.10 branch and managed to compile mars on debian oldstable kernel 5.10 without any modifications, thanks :+1:

I'm also interested into this feature, especially on RHEL9/OL9 kernels. I'll try to make my attempt to compile it against the OL9 5.15 kernel, but it'd be nice to get it working against the latest upstream kernels as well from the 6.x branch

Anyone knows if this project is still alive ? It would be such a great step to have this project instead of the DRBD offerings.

@alexpacio @woodholly Mind to share your build recipes ?

@schoebel Do you have any sponsor on this ?
