Hi,<br><br>this applies for drbd 0.7.17.<br><br>I was trying to get drbd to work only using drbdsetup (not drbdadm) without configuration files.<br>As I wrote in <a href="http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2006-April/004856.html">
http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2006-April/004856.html</a> I'm experiencing very slow syncing.<br><br>Now I found that maybe the default syncing rate in drbd/drbd_main.c line 1339 is given in B/s and not in KB/s as it should be.
<br><br>I guess instead of<br>mdev->sync_conf.rate = 250;<br>there should be<br>mdev->sync_conf.rate = 250*1024;<br><br>I don't understand the shaping algorithm up to now but changing that seems to work somehow. Now I see in /proc/drbd:

<br> [======>.............] sync'ed: 32.3% (86076/123120)K<br> finish: 0:01:29 speed: 924 (820) K/sec<br><br>instead of:<br> finish: 0:15:21 speed: 4 (4) K/sec<br><br>This is for sure better - since faster - but somehow not really shaped at 250 K/sec. I don't mind that since I don't really need shaping.
