getting rid of bonding. Doing simple SCPs between the two hosts I can easily

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I've noticed in my usage of
DRBD if the rate exceeds the performance of the network between the nodes the
sync rate sucks. Since rate is in bytes per second instead of bits per
second a rate of 500MB/s would need 10GB ethernet and even 100MB/s would exceed
the performance of GB Ethernet cards plugged into a standard PCI bus.<br>
<br>
You might want to run iperf with the -f M parameter to get the actual
performance of the sync network and use it to tune the rate values.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>I have tried everything under the sun and I can’t get syncer to go faster
that about 15Mbit/sec. Any hints would be greatly appreciated as these devices
are greater than 300G and initial sync is taking forever at ~10-15M/sec. <o:p></o:p></p>
