Re: [DRBD-user] drbd tranfer limitations (random and sequential acccess) using raw

[crsurf]

Dont have a way to setup blksize of drbd?
I have the following in the messages log:

Sep 23 13:38:51 SRVSYB01 kernel: drbd0: blksize=512 B
Sep 23 13:39:01 SRVSYB01 kernel: drbd1: blksize=512 B
Sep 23 13:39:07 SRVSYB01 kernel: drbd2: blksize=512 B
Sep 23 13:39:07 SRVSYB01 kernel: drbd3: blksize=512 B

Drbd defining block size to 512 B and database use block size of 2K. I would like to set drbd block size to 2k too.

Exists some way to improve this performance?
