How much performance difference do you think it will make going from 1Gbit to 2Gbit? Will the disks keep up with the 2Gbit?<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/3/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">CA Lists</b> <

<font size="-1"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I have 2
storage servers that use DRBD to sync the disks, with an additional 2
servers that connect via iSCSI and mount an OCFS2 partition. All 4
servers have dual gigabit network cards. Currently, I have the 2
storage servers connected via a cat6 crossover cable for DRBD - this is
on a private network. The other 2 servers connect to the storage server
through a gigabit switch. Someone recommended bonding all of the nics
on each server and the ports on the switch and running everything over
the same network at 2Gbps, rather than 1. My thought was that this may
degrade the reliability of DRBD by it not having its own private
communication channel. Am I correct? Or is bonding everything together
so that it all can run at 2Gbps a good idea?<br>

Thanks!</font></font>
