[DRBD-user] the perfomance issuce with a physical volume synchronization

Hi, It seems that LVM2 included in RHEL 5 has same problems, so we run the same test on RHEL 6.1. in this case, DRBD was trapped in I/O error. Does DRBD support "merge fn"? I heard that device-mapper on RHEL 6 cut I/O down to page size if the low level block device didn't support cut down. Thank
