I've got drbd set up on two RedHat 9 nodes with 60GB software RAID1 devices I'm trying to mirror. I started it up for the first time and it started with a SyncAll from the primary to the secondary at around 10MB/sec (on a private 100Mbps network). Then at almost exactly 30% though the sync, the sync speed dropped to an abysmal 500KB/sec. I've tried upping the minimum and setting the nice level, but nothing seems to improve the situation. I tried stopping and restarting the sync process and the same thing happened at 30%. Here's my setup; it looks the same on both nodes: [root at einstein root]# drbdsetup /dev/nb0 show Lower device: 09:04 (/dev/md4) Disk options: disk-size = 65456704 KB do-panic Local address: 192.168.100.1:7788 Remote address: 192.168.100.2:7788 Wire protocol: C Net options: timeout = 6.0 sec ko-count = 4 tl-size = 5000 connect-int = 10 sec ping-int = 10 sec sndbuf-size = 131070 sync-min = 4096 KB/sec sync-max = 102400 KB/sec sync-nice = -10 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
