The drbd8-utils package was replaced by drbd-utils in Xenial and later. Releases starting with Disco no longer have the dummy transitional package drbd8-utils.

As such, I believe it would be best to adopt the new name :wink:

Thanks for the commend @sdeziel. We are indeed going through reviews for all Ubuntu Server Guide and I’ll update this particular documentation anytime soon. Thanks for your contribution.

I updated the package name from drbd8-utils to drbd-utils.

There seems to be a missing hyperlink, or wrong description of the link at least.
" See ??? for details."

Couldn’t find “linux-server” package as mentioned under the “notes”, however found the drbd.ko in the linux-modules-extra package e.g. linux-modules-extra-`uname -r`
