What if you could get high availability without the complexity and resource requirements of a full Ceph cluster? That's exactly what 45Drives and @ LINBIT have been working on since partnering in 2024. Using DRBD® and Pacemaker, 45Drives now offers a 2-node HA solution that delivers real-time replication, server-level redundancy, and impressive performance all while keeping infrastructure lean and manageable. The article also highlights some of the testing and demonstrations the 45Drives team has done on their Stornado F16 all-flash hardware, showing just how much performance a well-designed 2-node cluster can deliver. Worth a read if you're exploring alternatives between standalone storage and large-scale clustered solutions.

Join us for tomorrow's Community Meeting 📢 - Roadmap updates - deployment tool demo - Hyper-V and LINBIT SDS for Windows - Multiple NFS exports with LINBIT SDS - Quorum in multi-site DRBD clusters hubs.ly/Q04kSq9T0

Going live in 3 days now 👀 Join us at the next LINBIT Community Meeting where LINBIT COO Brian Hellman will introduce the brand new LINBIT SDS Installer. That's not all though. Join us on Thursday to see. hubs.ly/Q04kp8Mn0

Running large language model (LLM) workloads in-house rather than consuming them through managed API services is a growing trend. Check out our latest blog post on the topic 👇 hubs.ly/Q04kGQhV0

For our German-language audience, here's a recent webinar we hosted with ANIO Solutions GmbH - 'Sichere, autarke und hochverfügbare Backup Umgebungen mit ANIO und LINBIT!' hubs.ly/Q04jtBz_0

Especially since not a lot of people know incus or lxd and get confused on what they provide, it's a good stack, been moving my homelab to a similar stack, nixos, incus, linbit, rustfs, incus agent sandboxes, Victoria metrics, fluxcd.

We’ve been collaborating with @linbit to showcase how DRBD continues to power resilient, high-availability storage solutions in real-world enterprise environments This partnership highlights the work our team has been doing to help organizations build reliable, open-source infrastructure without compromise.

The LINBIT team has been busy for more than a year on development work that could put DRBD 9 in the mainline Linux kernel, possibly as soon as the Linux 7.2 release sometime in September or October 2026. The current version of the DRBD kernel module in the mainline Linux kernel is 8.4.11, and if you want to learn more about the developments, look no further 👀 hubs.ly/Q04fBYTM0

DRBD: The Sweet Spot for High Availability Storage @linbit ZFS servers offer great single-client performance and strong protection against data loss—but they rely on a single system. Ceph clusters deliver full redundancy and scalability, but may sacrifice single-client speed and add complexity. @45Drives DRBD clusters bridge the gap. They combine: 🚀 ZFS-level performance 🔁 Real-time replication between two servers 🛡️ High availability with server-level redundancy A simple, powerful solution for teams that need both speed and reliability—without overbuilding. 👉 Learn more about DRBD by contacting our team: 45drives.com/software/distri… 🎥 Watch the full video to see it in action: youtube.com/watch?v=XiQ0f12H…

New Software Update! This release includes important fixes for large, dynamic LINSTOR clusters. Linstor 1.33.2 already contains fixes for most cases, but for disaggregated setups with diskless primary nodes, this DRBD update is also necessary.

New Software Update! linstor-server 1.33.2 fixes a class of bugs that might cause DRBD resources to end up with replica differences, even though DRBD shows them as UpToDate. Learn more here 👇 hubs.ly/Q04ckC9j0 #LINSTOR #OpenSource #StorageManagement #LINBIT #k8s #Kubernetes

High Availability Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated If uptime matters, redundancy isn’t optional. In this walkthrough, Mitch Hall builds a 2-node high-availability cluster using DRBD and Pacemaker/Corosync a proven open-source stack for keeping services online. @linbit Here’s what’s covered: • Block-level replication with DRBD • Cluster resource management with Pacemaker • Node communication via Corosync • Configuration using PCS • Live failover testing to validate the setup This is a practical, real-world example of how to design for resilience without relying on proprietary solutions. 👉 Watch the full video to see the full build and failover in action: ow.ly/l6W950YJ3kG #45Drives #HighAvailability #Linux #OpenSource #Infrastructure #Storage #SysAdmin
