Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


I tested the link speed with iperf and on average I get 7 Gbit/s

With the c-plan-ahead option I was able to request I higher syncer rate. Unfortunately the rate is still limited to
~1Gbit/s. 

Can Somebody confirm a syncer rate > 1Gbit/s when using drbd8.4?

Or should I switch back to drbd8.3?

thank you for your feedback.

I'll try the c-plan-head option.And test the link speed with iperf.

Thanks,
