CTDB changes ------------ +* CTDB's locations for locks, PID files and sockets now use ctdb/ + subdirectories of the Samba locations configured at build time. + This means that the relevant top-level Samba configure options + (--with-lockdir, --with-piddir, --with-sockets-dir) are now also + used by CTDB. + + The standalone CTDB build does not support these options. However, + it is generally only used for developer/standalone testing. + +* The CTDB initscript (ctdb.init) has been moved to ctdb/doc/examples. + This recognises that it isn't installed by default so it is + basically unmaintained and untested. + * Monitoring of (infrastructure) hosts is now supported. A good use of this is to monitor DNS servers. See the NETWORK MONITORING section in ctdb-script.options(5) for more details.
