Cristian, I have two suggestions for you. 1. You could increase the syncer rate and see what happens. However, it is possible that your disk throughput is slowing down the process. DRBD syncs can be limited by both disk subsystem and network subsystem. http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/s-configure-syncer-rate.html 2. If your disks have sync'd in the past, they may contain many identical blocks. The default syncer will sync them anyway. I was able to speed up a sync by using a checksum algorithm. However, this is basically a tradeoff of disk/CPU overhead for network I/O. In my case network I/O was the scarcer resource, so the sync speed was helped immensely. If your disks are slow or CPU is not up to the task, then this could actually hurt your sync rate (or make no difference). http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/s-configure-checksum-sync.html On Wed, May 5, 2010 at 8:32 PM, Cristian Rojas <intipu at googlemail.com> wrote: > Just looked at /proc/drbd and im getting: > > speed: 192 (320) K/sec > > but I have setup 30M on syncer rate in /etc/drbd.conf > > Any hints guys? > > Thanks
