In the same time, in 9.x carp seems to be desperately broken: for example I was experiencing weird panics on boot, weird behaviour, and, when enabling WITNESS, lots of carp-related LORs. Furthermore, I was completely unable to boot up with a ipv6-enabled carp - I had to initialize it in multiuser with a custom script. All of this doesn't happen on 10.x, which I had to upgrade to. Right now, if we're talking about carp, my 10.x production works like a charm. 9.x branch just isn't destined to production. The situation is a bit improved on 9.1, but still I can compare this release to 4.6 or 5.0.

 I'm afraid I can't afford 10.x, this is for production, although I acknowledge the problems you're faced with.

Regarding 8.x, this is a guest VM running on proxmox 2.3 which doesn't support stock 8.x (need the virtio kernel option, I'll get a thread reference when I hit work).


So yeah I'm kinda fucked here... ;)
