<div>Good idea! I setup a RAM disk on both of those systems, let them sync, added it to the cluster. <br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">One thing I left out (which didn't hit me until yesterday as a possibility) is that I have the iSCSI LUN attached to two Windows servers that are acting as a Scale-Out File Server. When I copied a file over to the new RAMdisk LUN via Scale-Out File Server, I am still getting 10-20MB/s; however, when I create a large file to the underlying, shared DRBD on those CentOS machines, I am getting about 700+MB/s, which I watched via iostat. So, I guess it's the Scale-Out File Server causing the issue. Not sure why Microsoft and the Scale-Out File Server is causing the issue - guess Microsoft really doesn't like non-Microsoft backing disks<br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Does anyone have any experience with that, perhaps?
