We have two 3.0 clusters and one 2.7 cluster installed by 45Drives. Their repos don't appear to be responding anymore. I'd like to start planning to get us to a current release, and I'd like to understand the relationship here a bit more. To that end, I have a few questions.
- Can anyone comment on what the 45Drives specific repo adds to the product? They provide a few utility scripts, but so far the ones I've had occasion to use were out dated or no longer functioned. Is there anywhere I can find documentation on commits or patches their fork contains?
- The 45Drives KB, website, and general posture seems to indicate they've moved on from championing PetaSAN. Can anyone here comment on that?
- Should I try to switch to the first party repos? Is that a difficult process?
Thanks!

Early on some of the scripts for mapping the drives so you know where they are in the system didn't work with the petasan repo, but that doesn't seem to be an issue now.

edit
/etc/apt/sources.list
change from
deb http://archive.petasan.org/repo_45drives/ petasan-v2 updates
to
deb http://archive.petasan.org/repo/ petasan-v2 updates
also if found, delete
rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/45drives.sources
However i would recommend testing it in a test setup first.
