Hi Mike,
yes i'm sure the interface is right... Checking it with ifconfig i see
tons of gigabytes transferred on the crossover interface and no data on
the esternal
interface during sync and with tcpdump too.
As i said before i hope there is something to modify in the config to
reach more speed.
This are the results of syncing 2 different resources (56Gb each) on the
same 2 machines and disks at the same time:
drbd0: Resync done (total 4428 sec; paused 0 sec; 9992 K/sec)
drbd0: drbd0_worker [31817]: cstate SyncSource --> Connected
drbd1: Resync done (total 5556 sec; paused 0 sec; 10568 K/sec)
drbd1: drbd1_worker [31821]: cstate SyncSource --> Connected
So the connection is able to reach at least 20Mb/sec using drbd. The
problem seems to be the stability. When i sync only one resource i get
no more than 14/15Mb/sec as average. Instead syncing 2 resources the
average goes to 20Mb/sec so it seems to be really some limitation
on the drbd resource sync.
Someone else around have a similar config:
2 HP Proliant DL380 with 2 processors Xeon 3Ghz 2 GB ram.
2 disks SCSI Ultra 320 of 146 Gb in raid 1 on each machine with Smart
array 6i controller?
As i said when transfer a file between the 2 machines i get 40Mb/sec speed.
There is any performances difference using a dedicated partition to
store the metadisk data as i'm doing?
I have partition /dev/cciss/c0d0p7 (634 Mb) partition to store metadisk
data (index 0 for drbd0 and index 1 for drbd1)
Thanks,
Bye,
Marcello
