The source tarballs for both current and historic DRBD
releases are available for download from http://oss.linbit.com/drbd/. Source tarballs, by
convention, are named drbd-x.y.z.tar.gz,
where x, y and
z refer to the major, minor and bugfix
release numbers.
DRBD's compressed source archive is less than half a megabyte in size. To download and uncompress into your current working directory, issue the following commands:
wget http://oss.linbit.com/drbd/drbd-8.3.0.tar.gz tar -xzf drbd-8.3.0.tar.gz

|---|---|
The use of wget for downloading the source tarball is purely an example. Of course, you may use any downloader you prefer. |
It is recommended to uncompress DRBD into a directory
normally used for keeping source code, such as
/usr/src or
/usr/local/src. The examples in this book
assume /usr/src.
