2. Other properties

2.1 Timeout

If communication blocks for 'N' * 1/10 seconds, DRBD falls back into unconnected operation.

If this field is left blank the internal DRBD default will be used instead.

2.2 Sync rate

The synchronisations sends up to 'N' KB per sec.

If this field is left blank the internal DRBD default will be used instead.

2.3 Transfer log size

Sets the size of the transfer log(=TL). The TL is is used for dependency analysis. For long latency high bandwith links it might be necessary to set the size bigger than 256. You will see error messages in the system log if the TL is too small.

If this field is left blank the internal DRBD default will be used instead.

2.4 Disk size

Sets drbd's size. When set to 0 drbd negotiates the size with the remote node. A value different from 0 will allow drbd to operate even without a connection to the other node. Make sure sizes match!

If this field is left blank the internal DRBD default will be used instead.

2.5 Skip synchronization

Instruct DRBD not to do synchronisation.

2.6 Enable kernel panic

DRBD will trigger a kernel panic if there is an IO error on the lower_device.

May be usefull when DRBD is used in a HA cluster.

2.7 Use protocol

Protocol used for this device

Protocol may be A, B or C.
