This doesn't seem normal.


Some obligatory questions:

* Are you sure you actually have working fullduplex Gbit link? (check with 
ethtool)

* Are you sure you actually can write to your disks faster than 
12Mbytes/sec? (try with benchmarking tool that comes with drbd 'dm.c')

* Are you sure nothing else is writing to disks at the same time?

* Did you drbdadm adjust after changing config?


* Have you searched the mailing-list archives? I think I have seen several 
questions like yours, maybe someone has already solved problem like this.
