Let me follow up on this myself. As suggested on IRC I tried to build drbd from source, just to take the elrepo packages from the equation. So I started with DRBD 8.3.13, and as expected I had a low performance. Then I tried 8.3.11, and I also had a low performance (although 8.3.11 from elrepo worked fine). That left me puzzled for a while, since I examined the elrepo packages more closely. As it seemed, all working drbd versions where build on 2.6.32-71, while all broken versions where build on 2.6.32-220. So, I installed the old el6 2.6.32-71 kernel (took me a while to find it, since it was removed from nearly all archives) and its devel package, booted into that kernel and build two new versions from source: 8.3.11 and 8.3.13. Then I booted back to 2.6.32-220. First try with my selfcompiled 8.3.11 modules: everything is fine. Second try with my selfcompiled 8.3.13 modules: still everything is fine. Indeed, the problem lies within the kernel version used to build the drbd.ko module. I double checked by using all userland tools from 8.3.13 elrepo build together with my drbd.ko build on 2.6.32-71 (but run from 2.6.32-220). Just to be clear: all tests were made with kernel 2.6.32-220, and the userland version does not matter. drbd.ko | 8.3.11 | 8.3.13 ---------------------+--------+------- build on 2.6.32-71 | good | good build on 2.6.32-220 | bad | bad So, how to debug this further? I would suspect looking at the symbols of both modules might give a clue? Regards, Matthias
