Mmm, odd. I read in a couple of posts balance-rr is the best mode for direct connections (as I'm using them, i.e. without switch). I did do some test with a HP Procurve 1810s switch though (enabled trunking on every pair of ports) but this actually resulted in even lower values. _______________________________________________ drbd-user mailing list drbd-user@lists.linbit.com http://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/drbd-user
