Linuxha.net version 1.4.9 update soon

It has been more than a year since the release of 1.4.8 and so time has come around for a look over the code and minor tweaks and fixes to be performed. In the next couple of weeks version 1.4.9 will be released which will include the following changes, at the very least:

• Heartbeat Daemon statistics - it will be possible to report on the performance of the heartbeat process to ascertain whether any settings should be changed.
• Network and Heartbeat Daemon restart facility - a facility to restart these daemons completely rather than just reconfigure them will be available to improve online upgrading of software facilities.
• DRBD updates - The version of DRBD including will be bumped to 8.3.8.
• Daemon status reporting - The cluster status utility will include a facility to check the necessary daemons are all running.

Once this update is out I will be next turning to a new release of TrueCl the next generation clustering software which is working well at present.
