<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Due to some crashing issues I upgraded our drbd software from 0.6.2 to 0.6.13. This went fine, so I brought in the secondary (also upgraded to 0.6.13) which needed to do a full sync. About 70% through the syncing process it slowed down from 11,000KB sec to 1000KB or less.
