Hi, I'm having problems with sync, using drbd 8.0.4, in centos 5.0. When i have to do one full sync, of the disc, it takes me 12 Hours (500G). The 2 nodes are connected between Gigabit Ethernet, my question it's, what do i have to do, to make it faster? This time is insane! :) I know my disk does not write at Gigabit ethernet capacity, but indeed, lets say it writes at least at 50MBytes/sec. If we write data, at 50MBytes/sec it should take theoretically about 1.66 hours, its about 1h and 40 minutes or so. Of course the disk writes faster than that, at least in this case i have one SAS controller with 15k rpm disk's. I have in drbd.conf configured 'rate 100M'. I have drbd over the disk, and ext3 over it, but i think this is transparent for drbd, this should not take the drbd to slow. When it is doing the full sync, i see in '/proc/drbd' and it says it's copying at about 20K/sec, and since it is in bits, it is pretty slow. This is bug? Or I am the bug? :) Since I'm new to drbd, i think the second option will be more likely then the first one! :D Gigabit Ethernet = 125MBytes/Sec Thanks for all the help. --------- Igor Neves <igor.neves at 3gnt.net> 3GNTW - Tecnologias de Informação, Lda sip igor at 3gnt.net jid igor at jabber.3gnt.org icq 249075444 tlm 00351914503611
