We've setup two machines with 3ware 8506 controllers running RAID 10: Controller SCSI ID: 0 Monitor version: ME7X 1.01.00.038 Firmware version: FE7S 1.05.00.063 BIOS version: BE7X 1.08.00.048 PCB version: Rev5 Achip version: 3.20 Pchip version: 1.30-66 Model: 8506-4LP Serial number: F14402A3460382 Unit count: 1 Unit 0 Status: OK Capacity: 240.06 GB (468879104 blocks) Write Cache: Not In Use Configuration: Striped Mirrors 64K (RAID 10) Stripe size: 64K (65536 bytes) Subunit count: 2 Network cards are Intel PRO/1000 MT Server adapter with the Intel's drivers version 5.2.30.1. drbd version 0.6.11.

Everything seems to work, but the connection is terribly slow: version: 0.6.11 (api:64/proto:62) 0: cs:SyncingAll st:Primary/Secondary ns:13939248 nr:0 dw:61378768 dr:15169750 pe:215 ua:0 [========>...........] sync'ed: 42.2% (17763/30725)M finish: 2:02:48h speed: 2,486 (3,122) K/sec Here is the config: drbd: pre-parsed needs update, parsing /etc/drbd.conf ................................. parsed configuration NOT written to /var/lib/drbd/drbd.conf.parsed CONF=(\ __hash__34 \ 'drbd0:protocol' 'C' \ 'drbd0:fsckcmd' '/bin/true' \ 'drbd0:disk' ' --disk-size=31463302 --do-panic' \ 'drbd0:net' ' --sync-rate=100M --sync-min=100M --tl-size=1024 --sync-nice=19' \ 'drbd0:on main1:device' '/dev/nb0' \ 'drbd0:on main1:disk' '/dev/sda2' \ 'drbd0:on main1:address' '10.10.0.1' \ 'drbd0:on main1:port' '7788' \ 'drbd0:HOSTS' ' main1 main2 ' \ 'drbd0:on main2:device' '/dev/nb0' \ 'drbd0:on main2:disk' '/dev/sda2' \ 'drbd0:on main2:address' '10.10.0.2' \ 'drbd0:on main2:port' '7788' \ 'drbd0:skip-wait' 'no' \ 'drbd0:load-only' 'no' \ 'drbd0:inittimeout' '-0' \ 'drbd0:incon-degr-cmd' '0' \ ) I'm wondering if anybody has a similar configuration, especially 3ware controllers and similar network cards. Please advise if anybody has any suggestions, Thanks a lot.
