Doug, find me a Gigabit Ethernet NIC vendor whose products pull better throughput than 115 MB/s and I'd buy it. The vendor, not the product. If I had the money. Syncer rate is Mega_bytes_, OK? Not bits. Your syncer rate is about 3 times as high as it ought to be. For the initial sync you can up it temporarily, but chances are that you'll top out at about 110 MB/s. If everything else is perfectly tuned. http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/s-configure-syncer-rate.html Florian Knight, Doug wrote: > All, > > I have a drbd mirrored pair managed by heartbeat via a gigabit direct > network connection between the two identical systems.
