hi,
I think I need your advice-opinion ...
I set up a system like CentOS 5.3, lvm, drbd 8.2, various systems raid (Adaptec aacraid or LSI MegaRAID with or without write back cache) after some time of work (a few hours or days) do the umount is slow... even a few minutes ... why?
I have already disabled barrier and write cache on drbd, but not on the controller or the sas drives... ideas?
thanks a lot.

p.s.
drbd partitions formatted with the default options.

On unmount the system has flush all dirty data to disk. Depending on the amount of data in memory, this might take a while.

I'm not claiming this is definitely the case here, but it is an obvious candidate.

The OP should try
sync
umount
then he could see if sync takes long or umount
