Well we're the perfect supplements for each other because, as you can see, I
don't know DRBD from a hole in the wall.
Yes, it's a brand new resource. I don't think I would say it's full of
zeros, as it has a clean ext3 file system on it.
Yes, I would LOVE to skip the sync, I've been dealing with this for weeks
now and right when I was about to go live, I tested the failover and it
didn't work because of a service heartbeat wanted to start wasn't going all
that well. While troubleshooting, I lost my 100% perfectly live server and
have to start from scratch. Problem is I only have two days to do it and
the thing has to sync 1.8TB at 12MB/s. I have no idea where the bottleneck
could be. Two servers, a cable connecting eth1 to eth1, both are
auto-negotiated at 1gbps on their own /30 subnet. The only thing there
would be garbage NIC cards, possible, but not probable, or the cable, more
likely, but I've never had an issue with it until now. Freshly constructed
servers, too.
I tried the drbdsetup /dev/drbd0 syncer -r 120M, been running like that for
about 5 minutes now and it hasn't changed at all.
