Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


Please could someone knowledgeble tell me why this may happen?
Under load (local massive quota update by a script plus cpio of a big
tree from an NFS client) synchronization is repeatedly restarted after
~1% completion:

Am I right in assumption that when load average is high on the master,
and "application" write speed is higher than sync-min, syncer running at
low priority cannot keep pace and disconnects?

Also, I was getting significant number of messages like these:

Mar 22 16:29:27 nfsa1.mail.back kernel: drbd0: [kjournald/819] sock_sendmsg timeout count down: ko=4294967295

...
Mar 22 19:35:09 nfsa1.mail.back kernel: drbd0: [drbd_syncer_0/6603] sock_sendmsg timeout count down: ko=4294967295

What do they mean?
The kernel is 2.4.25 (smp, on Xeon), drbd 0.6.10-cvs (now trying
0.6.12).

Thanks
Eugene
