Hello,

  I have a pair of systems which provide a resilient NFS service. 

When I bring in a new secondary system, I need to resync the volumes 
across from the primary, yet still maintain service to the NFS clients.

The question is; is using the bandwidth limit helpful or counter
productive? Ideally I'd like to bias for current writes from clients via
the primary, with the resync happening in the background.

We have tried setting the resync bandwidth lower, but this does not seem
to help. Are "current writes" part of the same bandwidth? Is there a way
to prioritise them over background resync traffic?

  Hope thats clear.

 Andy
