Dear DRBD, I would like to request a feature for DRBD. I would be interested in showing the data rate sent over the network to the other host in /proc/drbd. This would enable me to monitor bottlenecks and predict limitations easily. I am interested in knowing whether this is the sort of feature it would be possible for a user like my self with a few years C experience to add my self? If so, whether any user might give me a pointer or two? For instance, keeping an array of the last 15 minutes, holding a total of data transfer in and out, so that a 1-minute, 5-minute and 15-minute rate could be displayed, with the array rotated every new minute. Please also let me know if this is a really bad idea! Regards, Ben. PS, another feature that would be very useful for me is another version of /proc/drbd showing output as XML, say /proc/drbd_xml. Then my self or other users could program our own extensions with ease. A good DTD with comments could aid users tracking problems. Again let me know if this is a bad idea! ************************************************************************* This e-mail is confidential and may be legally privileged.
