[DRBD-user] sync rate seems low

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


But an scp would indicate disk latency as well.  It's great they all
talk 1gb but can they handle 1gb?  As Clive mentioned, try scp'ing a
100mb file and see if you are also getting 8mb/sec.

I agree, that's what it seems like. But then I ran iperf on the
interface and got this:

[  3] local 192.168.0.2 port 32810 connected with 192.168.0.1 port 5001
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  3]  0.0-10.0 sec  1.08 GBytes   929 Mbits/sec

Which is more like what I'd expect to see. On the interface. So why is
DRBD only seeing 100M while the interface can support and is running
at 1G?

Thanks!
Monty
