I agree with the previous response. The protocol that DRBD is using won't improve InnoDB's recovery time. What is your ratio of reads:writes? How about writes/second? Do you have a huge # of tables. Check around on <a href="http://mysqlperformanceblog.com">mysqlperformanceblog.com</a>. There have been several posts regarding InnoDB performance tuning. Some parts of the recovery process are serialized -- such as opening tables. So if you have 10,000 tables just that one part could take a bit. Also, are you using innodb_file_per_table or a single tablespace? There are some potential implications there for recovery...<br>
