What version of CTDB is needed to build Samba 3.6 Master?

I've been running ctdb for about two and a half years now; ctdb+samba+nfs+ftps backed by gpfs on rhel5

I started out way back when with samba 3.2 and ctdb 1.0.82; but now using samba 3.5.10 and ctdb 1.0.114-1....no issues.


Regards,

Charles

People more ctdb-clever than me (particularly the maintainer of ctdb
in Debian, Mathieu parent) would be more precise, but, for
Debian, we build 3.6.0 with ctdb >= 1.10+git20110412....so it seems
that it would be recommended to use a very recent ctdb....
