Hi all,

am reading the Novell docs on DRBD and one of the ways they mention to speed 
up DRBD is using external metadata. Possibly a hard question to answer but 
could someone indicate by what degree this would enhance speed (provided using 
a sufficient fast disk for the metadata, like a SSD)?

thx!

Bart
