Hello,
I've set up a replication between two DSS servers.
When I start the replication process, it synchronizes both volumes and reports "Consistent" on each volume. I start copying files then (or dd'ing some data) to the iSCSI volume, but this is really slow (dd reports 5-10 mb/s). When I turn off the replication, the write throughput is from 80 to 100 mb/s (which i quite good for a 1 gbit/s network).
Both servers are linked directly to each other using a cat 6 patchcable (crossover is not needed, because both NIC's support Auto-MDI-X). drbd initially synchronizes the volumes also with 80 to 100 mb/s speed.
What could be the bottleneck, when replication is turned on?
Thanks!
