thats not what your users will do, they will do lots of small reads

spend that time tuning the latency. Thats what your users will

Totally.

To that end, a couple oft-overlooked settings:

disk {
  c-fill-target 3M;
}
net {
  max-buffers 128k;
}

Basically telling DRBD that it's actually on a 10Gb link. Our stats all went way up after this, as did our verify and sync speeds.
