I wouldn't sign that. While 1GB-network compares to current sata disks, the throughput isn't everything. There is also latency where the network layer in drbd introduces a factor of ten compared to pure local disks and when using C- protocol. And when there are many users/apps accessing this resource, its the latency that makes them complain. Have fun, Arnold -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
