lowers but it is by far not as low as 4k.
This seems to be correct as according to

Hello again!
I did some further testing and performance tuning. I was able to rise the
average throughput a bit with large max-buffers and changing the i/o
scheduler but the drbd throughput is still way behind the max throughput of
the raw devices, while i/o wait is still going through the roof.
