I don't test with drbd-8.3 but with 8.0.14, 8.0.15rc and 8.0.16. I have now tested the write throughput with the following command: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dbase/test_write_drbd bs=500M count=2 conv=fsync,notrunc successively in primary/secondary mode and in standalone mode, with /dev/drbd0 mounted on /dbase and then without drbd, /dev/sdb1 mounted on /dbase for each configuration, this command has been repeted 4 or 5 times. Results for write throughput tests are: (approx.) time/throughput to write 1GB on /dbase: Kernel 2.6.20 Kernel 2.6.27 Primary/Secondary ~17s. ~60MB/s ~90s. ~11,6 MB/s StandAlone ~11s. ~93MB/s ~77s. ~14MB/s Without drbd ~9s. ~110MB/s ~9s. ~110MB/s Read performances test don't show significative différences between the two kernels. We have 2 IBM x3400 with serveRAID M10 (aacraid driver), 8 processors (2xquadcores), 16Go memory, 2 x1Gb ethernet card with one dedicated for drbd one Raid1 for the system one Raid1 for drbd. This Raid1 for drbd is composed with 2x 140Go disks (15trs/mn) (about 130G for partition sdb1 mounted on /dbase and 5G for sdb2 used for the metadatas. I join the drbd.conf . If you want I can join dmesg and lspci for the 2 kernels We have tested drbd-8.0.14 with kernel 2.6.27 on other machines, we don't find difference with the 2.6.20 kernel.
