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

Try to crossover the link between the two host and do 
$ ifconfig eth0 MTU 6000

Please check where's the bottleneck (scsi devices,etc)
Kernel version should not be a problem with this.

the cisco switches between the two hosts don't allow that. Is it worth the
trouble with the network admins or does it explain the very slow drbd
performance with recent kernel versions?
The trouble is that I don't see any error messages. With other similiar drbd
setups ( drbd 0.7.17 SVN Revision: 2125M and kernel 2.6.16.11 ) on different
hosts I don't see that kind problems. There I got with the same network setup a
speed of approx. 80MB/sec when writing data with dd to the disk.
