Not with my configuration :-(
i only get:

--- snip ---
testnode1:~# cat /proc/drbd
version: 0.6.12 (api:64/proto:62)

0: cs:SyncingAll st:Primary/Secondary ns:1235920 nr:0 dw:0 dr:1236060 
pe:881 ua:0
         [>...................] sync'ed:  0.3% (96043/96256)M
         finish: 3:47:11h speed: 7,245 (7,245) K/sec
--- snap ---

and here my config:

--- snip ---
testnode2:~# drbdsetup /dev/nb0 show
Lower device: 58:03   (/dev/lvmvg/backup)
Disk options:
Local address: 10.1.1.2:7789
Remote address: 10.1.1.1:7789
Wire protocol: C
Net options:
  timeout = 6.0 sec
  tl-size = 5000
  connect-int = 10 sec
  ping-int = 10 sec
  sndbuf-size = 131070
  sync-min = 40960 KB/sec
  sync-max = 81920 KB/sec
  sync-nice = 1
--- snap ---

What can cause this slowly drbd performance? Any suggestions? I've used 
NetIO to get a feeling for the GBit Ethernet fitness and this brought up 
a rate (with TCP/IP) of around 100 MByte/sec. So the network works fine, 
i think.
