I do have several drbd volumes instead of one big. Then you can choose which ones to sync first. And if your volumes are on different disks, the order can be defined to sync volumes from each disk one after the other but volumes from different disks in parallel. That way one can max out a 2x10G connection with three volumes from three disks all reading/writing sequential, instead of the disk stepping in its own way by reading from several volumes on the same disk while the other disks are idle... And several drbd-volumes can fail-over individually. Have fun, Arnold
