Hi list, We observe that the sync-rate is extremly slow with kernel 2.6.17. Platform: - 2x HP-Proliant DL-380 G4 drbd-connection over Gigabit crossover (using bonding-interface) - Fedora Core 5 - same observation for both drbd-0.7.20 and drbd-0.7.21, compiled from tgz. With kernel 2.6.16_1.2133_FC5smp, everything was fine. Just when changing the kernel to 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5smp, the synch rate is extremly low (about one to two MByte/s). The network connection is still fast (e.g. copying a large file via scp). Using the non-smp-kernel does not make a difference. We did not touch the drbd-configuration when changing the kernels, we just added the appropriate kernel-modul for drbd. The kernels we use are those provided by Fedora. It's reproducable, just rebooting with the old kernel gives the correct performance. Unfortunately we need a more recent kernel than 2.6.16 :( Did anyone observe something similar ?? Thanks for any advice and best regards, Bernhard -- NEU: GMX DSL Sofort-Start-Set - blitzschnell ins Internet! Echte DSL-Flatrate ab 0,- Euro* http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl
