Dear all,<br>
<br>
I've just configured a 1.8TB DRBD shared device on a pair of machines
connected to the same fairly standard home router (the documentation is
<u>excellent</u> by the way!)<br>
<br>
The two devices are synchronising now but worryingly very slowly and
i'm not sure if it's a RAID5 issue or what? Here's an example of
/proc/drbd. Eventually I want to go for a Primary/Primary setup<br>

As you can see 232k/s doesn't seem especially quick<br>
