Hello,
Awhile back, I had posted about problems I was having with using AMANDA
with Mac OS X Server. The problems I was seeing related to extremely long
backup times, in excess of 8 hours to backup only 400MB of
data. Apple has disabled ktrace debugging of the kernel so there wasn't
much I could do to figure out where the problem is. However, recently, I
decided to do a set of dumps with compression turned off. It turns out,
thats where the slowdown is occuring. For some reason, the compression
pipe from gzip to tar is extremely slow under Mac OS X Server. Since Mac
OS X Server is in part based on FreeBSD, I was wondering if anyone has
noticed similar situations with FreeBSD? Also, has anyone tested AMANDA
with Mac OS X Beta and do similar problems exist there?
Thanks,
Kevin
