I am using DRBD to mirror a 1 terrabyte device.  I will be syncing
over a gigabit switch so I assume I can use 100M to 150M as a rate
safely.  There will be other traffic on the switch.  However I do not
seem to understand how the al-extents parameter is used.  Most
examples leave it set to 257 and that is good for an active set of 1
Gig.  Could someone explain what the active set implies AND what are
the pros/cons of increasing the active set size or do I need to woory
about.

thanks

Doug
