Hi!

I am using DRBD 8.4.

I want to limit the syncer speed to approx. 300MBit/s .

During intial sync after creating the disk this worked as expected. The
parameter controlling this was "c-max-rate".
But during normal operation DRBD seems to sync always with the fastest speed
possible.

I tried also protocol versions A and C and didn't see significant differences
concerning the used network bandwidth.

This is my currently used setup:

        disk {
                # in units of 0.1 seconds
                # 0,1s * 5 => 0,5s
                c-plan-ahead 5;

                # in units of 0.1 seconds
                # 2 seconds max sync delay
                c-delay-target 20;

                # in Units of KiB/s
                # ca. 300MBit/s
                c-max-rate 35M;

                # in Units of KiB/s
                # 32MBit/s
                c-min-rate 4M;

                # will overrule c-delay-target, but seems to be better
                # concerning linearity of the used network bandwith
                c-fill-target 18M;
        }

        net {
                #protocol C;
                max-buffers 8000;
                max-epoch-size 8000;
                sndbuf-size 512k;
                cram-hmac-alg sha1;
                shared-secret "XXXXX";
                verify-alg md5;

                protocol A;
                on-congestion pull-ahead;
                congestion-fill 2G;
                congestion-extents 2000;
        }

I commented "c-fill-target" -> no change
I also tried this (on both sides):
   drbdadm disk-options --c-plan-ahead=0 --c-max-rate=1M <resource>
 -> no change

I test the used network bandwidth with the tool
   speedometer -s -r eth0 -t eth0
It shows always 940MBit/s on a 1GBit ETH link, which is the whole bandwidth
of this link.

@Linbit:
Is it possible, that the driver ignore this settings after initial sync?

Any ideas?

BR,
   Jasmin
