    Bernd,

             The ENBD project requires a kernel patch for 2.6 support and I
    would like to remain with the vendor supplied (and "blessed" kernel) for
    support reasons.

             Since I cannot provide feedback on the latest version of the
    kernel and I don't want to have an "unblessed" kernel, I've opened a
    ticket with RedHat attached to my support contract for this problem. I
    mainly posted my question here to see if this was a known issue with 2.6
    in general or NBD-specific.

             I had not heard of "DRBD" before now, but it looks interesting. I
    am looking into it further.

    Thanks,
             Roy Keene
