I was playing with the settings yesterday and it let me set it at 600M and it didn't make a difference in the sync speed at all. I then tried it with your suggestion, dropped it to 150M just to be safe. Still no difference. I wonder what the deal is. Could it be that this is the initial sync?

You are still mixing megabits and megabytes. Your 1000 megabit pipe won't take a 600 megabyte stream, or a 150 megabyte stream. The maximum is about 125 MBps. DRBD talks (and is documented to talk) bytes. Most everyone else talks bits. You don't mention the speed you are getting. Also,

Well we're the perfect supplements for each other because, as you can see, I don't know DRBD from a hole in the wall. Yes, it's a brand new resource. I don't think I would say it's full of zeros, as it has a clean ext3 file system on it. Yes, I would LOVE to skip the sync, I've been dealing with

I would suggest looking at the disk hardware. What sort of RAID card are you using in the servers? If you are using an HP Smart Array there is some tuning to do to get some descent performance out of those as they have a rather deep buffer. -Morey From: d

OK, You can skip the zero, but the devices won't pass an online verify. It won't hurt anything. All the sectors that need to be synced will be synced. The disks are mostly zeros, so an online verify wouldn't do much, but it's nice to know. To find out how long the DD will take, "kill -USR1 task

Actually, that makes some sense. If the network is way faster than the sync, and the dd (which doesn't even use the network) is the same speed, then there is something bad wrong with the underlying device or configuration. You are not going to be happy until you get that fixed. Then, the dd sho
