RedHat 9.0, drbd-0.6.12, channel bonded gigabit crossover, with 90GB software RAID devices on each node and I came across this same problem when I set it up. > Any idea's? Thanks, > Perhaps check the clocks on each machine. I did notice that the clocks on each of my hosts were different as one was set to the wrong timezone. I fixed the timezone and had each host sync off an NTP source to ensure they kept accurate time. Then the replication rate was stable the whole way through at about 22,500 K/sec. Jeff.
