You need a faster CPU or a dedicated checksum engine such as the CRC32C implementation in the newer 32nm Intel processors with a sufficiently new revision of the kernel: http://lwn.net/Articles/292984/ Is there any setting that I can change for the verification to happen at the > full bandwidth speed?

Unfortunately the verify requires a checksumming algorithm at the moment, in your case where bandwidth between hosts is gratuitous, it would be more efficient to NOT calculate checksums at all and just compare raw data. To my knowledge, DRBD does not support this currently. -JR -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
