<p class=MsoNormal>nothing i tried tweaking in drbd.conf worked. the only thing
that did was changing the 10gig interfaces. what cards are you using? i was
using ones with an intel chip. the cards that i did get it to work with were
from chelsio. in my previous thread on the list, someone mentioned that they
had neterion cards working.<br>

Yes you are correct we are using 10gig fibre cards. I’m not sure we could
change them though as the fibre modules used in them cost over £400 each.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi List,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Please help. I have installed drbd 8.3.5 on Open Suse 11.1
(Kernel 2.6.27.29-0.1). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have run drbdadm create-md dbms-test on one node and
create-md dbms-test2 on the other node. I then ran drbdadm up all on both
nodes. I then ran drbdadm -- --overwrite-data-of-my-peer primary dbms-test on
the first node and the same with dbms-test2 on the other node. They then run
for a short while before stalling. I have tried older version without success
and turning the sync rate down does not make any difference. Downing the
resources and bringing back up starts the sync again but this then stalls
quickly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have attached /proc/drbd, /etc/drbd.conf and a section
from /var/log/messages. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>

what kind of network are you using between the two servers? this is almost the
exact same behavior i had when i was trying to get drbd to work over 10gig
ethernet. turned out to be something in drbd didn't like something about the 10gig
cards i had. i eventually had to change my network cards. what cards are you
using? 1gig? 10gig? have you tried other cards? that is where i would look.<br>
