[Bug 1185756] Fwd: Re: [Drbd-dev] drbdsetup legacy utils can't fall back to version 8.3

[Lionel Sausin - Numérigraphe]

Linbit's Lars Ellenberg confirmed on the ML that adding /lib/drbd to the 
path won't fix drbdsetup in all cases: drbdsetup-83 has to be in the 
same directory as the drbdsetup, and it also applies to drbdadmin.

"Correct" is whatever works for you.
As long as you know what version you are using, use the matching tools.

Note that using explicit path (anything with a '/' in it)
on drbdadm or drbdsetup causes them to expect the respective "legacy"
binary at that same path, beneath the current executable.
(on purpose).

So if you want to say /sbin/drbdsetup, and expect that to be able to
execvp drbdsetup-83, then yes, you have to make that accesible under
/sbin/drbdsetup-83, adding it to the PATH will not be good enough.

Also, as a heads up, we are in the process on splitting out the DRBD
userland, providing the "grand unified drbd utils", so this will all
change again within the next few weeks/month.
