Hello, First of all, thank you for coming up with drbd and taking the time to improve it. Here's my input. I have configured two systems, closely following the howto and after some tweaking was even able to get 'decent' sync speeds - around 50Mb/sec. Here's my setup: Two identical servers with the following configuration. Dual Xeons on a 7501 Westville mobo, 40GB IDE drive (OS), 2 73GB SCSI drives arranged in a RAID-1 (data) on Adaptec AIC7902 Hostraid controller, SuSE 8.2 The servers are connected via a dedicated gig-E interface. Some questions i would like to ask: How do i know it works? From what i read, its a nono to mount the lower device on the secondary system. I did it anyway, >:D just to see if there is anything there. So after sync, yes, there was data. Then i copied around 250Mb to nb0 on the primary system and waited - nothing. Remounted /dev/sda1 - and its still empty. Thoughts? Also, is there a way to watch replication live? Other than cat /proc/drbd ? I tried tcpdump -i eth1 but its just a mess. One thing i noticed tho, an obscene number of packets is dropped by the secondary system. So any ideas in this area are welcome. (iptables is off.) Notes about the docs: Tabs in conf files confuse drbd, had to find that out the hard way. Some docs have dashes in conf file keywords - those dashes arent relevant anymore.
