Hello

I used to have 2.4.23 and drbd 0.6.4 running on two servers sharing
2x 5GB over a 100MBit crosslink.

Now I upgraded to 2.4.24 and drbd 0.6.10 and two Intel e1000.o gigabit
cards and my syncall time drops from about 15mins to more than 1h!

After the syncinc was done, I tested the link with "rsync -v -a
--progress ..." and got at least 15MB/s = 120MBit/s which is not much 
for a 1000MBit/s link but at least more than 2MBit/s that drbd got!

Below you find the "cat /proc/drbd" and the "drbdsetup /dev/nb0 show" 
outputs. The sync-max values differ a bit as I played around before
giving up...

Any ideas?

bye,

-christian-

P.S.: How do I enable this SyncQuick which I read somewhere?
