Although I did build and run a dev lab at Sun in the early days of Solaris Nevada. What kernel source version or branch will your current git tree patch to and compile with? I have tried everything from 3.5rc1 to Linus's current git tree. It breaks DRBD. Once I disable DRBD in the config it fails at target_core_iblock.c. So I never get a full build. So either I am doing something obviously wrong or ??? I'd love to test this out and help with debugging. I have plenty of hardware and interest in it working well. I can even provide you access to debug when I hit an issue. What error output can I provide and can you point me to good trees? I appreciate it and I am glad to see that someone is finally making the effort to get a real, working block cache object into the kernel. I will help in any way I can. Jason
