[DRBD-user] resyncing, bandwidth limits and new writes.

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


If by limiting bandwidth you mean the "rate" configuration in the syncer
section, then that does only limit the rate for background
synchronisation. The "foreground" sync of current writes is not affected
by that setting. That always happens as fast as possible.
