Hi, I currently have DRBD setup with one server in a Colo in Ireland and the other in a Colo in UK. They are running over a VPN which restricts the throughput to around 1-2Mbs due to hardware (might swap this). They are both set to Protocol A (although C works too). What I would like to know is what are the best setting for sndbuf-size and timeout's etc? the reason I ask is because usually very little data at a time is written to these machines as they are mostly read from. So in those cases I could get away with protocol C. However I have switched to A as sometime I have to copy that data on the disks for tests or upgrades (about once or twice a week). When I copy the data this could be up to 8Gb's worth. My issue is this takes a long time to sync naturally, but I don't want it to slow the primary server down as other people still need to read/write there little amounts without too much effect. When this is happening I could just detach the secondary device from the DRBD and then reconnect it afterwards but as this does get around the blocking but I was wondering if there is a better way.
