Dear all,

I've just configured a 1.8TB DRBD shared device on a pair of machines 
connected to the same fairly standard home router (the documentation is 
_excellent_ by the way!)

The two devices are synchronising now but worryingly very slowly and i'm 
not sure if it's a RAID5 issue or what? Here's an example of /proc/drbd. 
Eventually I want to go for a Primary/Primary setup

--------

version: 8.0.11 (api:86/proto:86)

As you can see 232k/s doesn't seem especially quick

Bits of my config file:

--------

common {
syncer { rate 40M; }
protocol C;
}

 on alpha {
    device     /dev/drbd0;
    disk       /dev/md4;
    address    192.168.69.150:7788;
    flexible-meta-disk  internal;
}

on beta {
    device    /dev/drbd0;
    disk      /dev/md4;
    address   192.168.69.155:7788;
    meta-disk internal;
  }

syncer
{
    al-extents 257;
}

---------

Thanks in advance,

Henri
