The sync-rate is for when drbd has detected that there is a difference between the peers and it needs to sync these. For example after a downtime of the secondary while the primary was used. Or when drbd checks its whole disks and syncs the differences. That is totally independent from the normal writes, which are done on the secondary at the same time as on the primary. Even with protocol A! The protocols only report different states as "written": While C only reports a block as written after local and remote disk have actually written the data to disk, A reports a block as written when the local disk is written and the same data has left the local network-interface. Still all this gets written on the secondary the same as on the primary. When you want to limit the transport or have a small connection and need something to buffer the write-requests, talk to linbit about drbd-proxy... Have fun, Arnold
