Re: [DRBD-user] how to measure the time of one file's synchronization to secondary node

thanks for answering ! I have another question. Is the Write Speed on /dev/drbd0 equals to the Transmission Speed of the data through the network? thanks. On Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 11:40 PM, Lars Ellenberg wrote: > On Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 09:30:06AM -0600, Mike Lovell wrote: >> Tomki wrote: >>

[DRBD-user] DRBD with NIC bonding and Crossover cables - no switch

2010-09-24 Thread Matt Ball, IT Hardware Manager
I have setup NIC bonding with DRBD successfully but we need to try to reduce the amount of switch ports required as we need to remotely deploy several clusters. We have 2 bonded nics, total of 4 NICs/cables plus one for iLo. So we have 6 that must go into the switch (3 from each cluster) but w

Andreas, By saying "If I make a benchmark by writing with dd to the local (virtual disk, lying on storage cluster) of the test-VM, I get only about 20-25 MB/s." what is your block size. I guess the IOPS is really what you should concern about. The other thing is, try to assign Ethernet HBA as "dir

Hello, I've been reading about the barriers (no-disk-barrier option) in drbd. I understand that when the primary gets a IO completion notification, it will issue a barrier request (actually start a new epoch) to the secondary. However, if the disk of the primary has a write cache, it will immediat
