Forgive me if I am obviously too stupid to understand but I did read that document and it did not help. It makes no mention of the parameters in question nor enough information for me to relate the information in the document to drbd.conf file entries. I can understand (not really) but I can accept not being offered a high level and simplified explanation of my questions. I do ask however help on correlating the config file parameters in question to the contents of the this document. To others I would accept a high level synopsis of what the parameters affect and how to use them to tune my replication. Armed with a high level view I hope to be able to correlate them back to the technical details on this document. http://www.drbd.org/fileadmin/drbd/publications/drbd8.linux-conf.eu.2007.pdf regards, Douglas Lochart On Thu, Feb 14, 2008 at 8:34 AM, Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg at linbit.com> wrote: > On Wed, Feb 13, 2008 at 11:36:12AM -0500, Doug Lochart wrote: > > I am using DRBD to mirror a 1 terrabyte device.
