Sometimes people just get tired, fatigued, angry to death. Happens all the time, it can hit anyone. I found kinda nonsense all the 3.11 version naming and awfully bad tasting the splash logo showing a windows related image. My guess is that Linus could be going though some hard personal struggles, a difficult life phase. Its bad, its dangerous, but someone has to understand: it can happen. Linus is one of a kind, yet still human, so, Sarah has a point. THE MAN deserves some time to think over all that anger and turn back to the old good bad attitude he is famous for and that helped leading to so many developers great work and accomplishment.

Maybe because DRBD is not a Clustered Filesystem? http://www.drbd.org/docs/about/ states: "The Distributed Replicated Block Device (DRBD) is a software-based, shared-nothing, replicated storage solution mirroring the content of block devices (hard disks, partitions, logical volumes etc.) between hosts."

I once heard from Richard Stallman's mouth on a conference - "I could have made money this way, and perhaps amused myself writing code. But I knew that at the end of my career, I would look back on years of building walls to divide people, and feel I had spent my life making the world a worse place." - and that was a life changing moment for me. Reading this kind of news makes me sad, I suffer for the souls of those who never had the opportunity to realize they are just loosing the chance to make the world fair and good.
