speaking of slow sync, I have a similar issue. using a cross-over cable (2ft length) on gig interfaces, I can't set rate to anything over 11M if I do, the units disconnect and go primary/unknown unknown/secondary. no matter what I do. yet I can transfer data and files across the dedicated link at really high speed. it's kind of crazy that a gig link interface can only do 11M in drbd. so I think it's related to this issue somehow.
