Dependencies required

For this process, you'll need git, make, gcc, autoconf, automake, drbd-utils and probably a lot of other things. I'll get a full list soon.

Process

In your preferred directory (~ is fine), git clone git://git.linbit.com/drbd-9.0.git.

CD into the created directory, and 'make'.

If there are any packages missing, you'll be notified here (sometimes the notifications can be somewhat cryptic. yum whatprovides $file should quickly sort you out).

Once that has completed, as root 'make install', and the drbd kernel module is ready.

If you have the EPEL repo installed, the drbd-utils package available there should suffice, but if that nor the AN! repo are available, the same process can be applied to the drbd-utils git tree found at git://git.linbit.com/drbd-utils.git
