Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


DRBD is running slow on a pair of new Dell PE2950 servers, 2xQuad Core 3GHz, 16GB RAM, 6x300GB 15K SAS drives, RAID5, Centos 5.2 (2.6.18-92.1.10.el5).

After 24 hours, this 600GB volume is now 4.3% sync'ed.
 
It's not the GigE link between the servers:
 
[root at ha03 ~]# netperf -t TCP_STREAM -H 2.1.1.2
TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 2.1.1.2 (2.1.1.2) port 0 AF_INET
Recv   Send    Send

bytes  bytes   bytes    secs.    10^6bits/sec
 87380  16384  16384    10.03     938.77

The funny thing is that when I sync'd drbd0 (which is on the same RAID array), it went much faster. The 400GB volume was done in maybe a few hours.
 
Any ideas, please?
