Hi all,

Just want to thank you for all your help on this so far.
We are now using that server for something else, so at the moment my
DRBD plans are on hold. After playing around with the snd and receive
and max buffer settings, I did manage to crank the speed up to 10MB/sec.


Thanks again for all your help,
Coert
