Maurits,

I faced this issue some times ago. After a few hours scratching my head, my
eyes stopped by luck on one small line in /var/log/messages among the whole
rest, warning me that my 10Gb Ethernet card was requiring a 8x PCIe slot
when it was in a 4x PCIe slot at that moment, and that might have effects on
performances. After a quick check it turned out to be true, I moved the card
in one of the 8x slots and then got my 10Gb/s throughput sharp.

May be you have this very same problem...

Best regards,

Pascal.

Objet : [DRBD-user] drbd 8.3.12 cannot get syncer speed beyond 110MB/s

Hello,

I have asked this question before for drbd 8.4.1 but I couldn't get proper
write performance.
Currently I downgraded drbd to 8.3.12 but I cannot get the syncer speed
above 1Gb/s or 110MB/s.

When I test the disk throughput with
#dd if=/dev/zero of=/VM/test bs=512M count=1  oflag=direct 
I get a speed around 500MB/s
(It's an all SSD raid 5 array)
I installed a 10G network adapter and tested the connection with iperf and I
get on average 7Gbit/s

This should all be sufficient for a drbd syncer speed >110MB/s.
I have set the "rate=200M" option for a 2Gbit/s rate

cat /proc/drbd shows
version: 8.3.12 (api:88/proto:86-96)

Only at the start the value of (200.000) K/sec is shown.

What can I do to get the 200MB/s syncer speed?

Best regards,
