I see just enough complaints about various gigabit network adapters in various versions of linux that I'm slightly leery of just buying whatever I can find and slapping it in the system :-).
Anyone using gigabit (and actually using the bandwidth too :-) who can recommend some adapters that work well in fedora 11?
I've got PCI as well as PCIE 1x slots available (PCI only in some systems though).
suggestion try asking on the drbd list. (or just Google the list a bit) http://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/drbd-user
IIRC with at least some of the _earlier_ broadcoms there were issues on that list with the offloading functions.
Quick summary of drbd: RAID 1 across a network, i.e., have the network _try_ to keep up with the rate you are pushing data to a hard drive. :)
They should know what the current state with respect to the question asked.
