You might want to check your stripe size, IIRC drbd is limited to 128k
IO requests, so if you have a larger stripe size you may be getting a
lot of read-modify-write, wich would severly impact your performance.

If you have a BBU (battery backup unit) or a non-volatile cache for your
raid controller you might want to try these:

good luck,
