solution offering a full, highly available SSI
environment for Linux. Goals for OpenSSI Clusters
include availability, scalability and
manageability, built from standard servers.

This pre-release fixes a number of bugs affecting
the HA-CFS cluster filesystem, VPROC process
management, and HA-LVS IP load-balancer. The
kernel no longer uses 4K stacks by default to
simplify DRBD-SSI installation without recompiling
the kernel.
This is a stable release, suitable for production use. A major bug that was fixed had prevented nodes from joining after failover of the init node. Also, a shmat() permission bug for non-root users has been fixed. There is a fix for the Debian version of OpenSSI to support long device names with DRBD.
This development release is based on the 2.6.10 kernel. HA-LVS was enhanced to allow the selection of load balancing algorithms, to automatically register UDP servers, and to detect eligible servers during start-up. Support for dynamic nodes was added along with the use of DHCP-assigned addresses for the cluster interconnect.
