After further experimenting, it appears that with squeeze (unlike lenny) that running BackupPC_nightly and BackupPC_dump at the same time is the problem. After changing the schedule so that BackupPC_nightly runs hours before the backups start that everybody is happy.

Did the location or allocation change as part of the upgrade? If the partitions are mapped straight from the host, I wouldn't expect them to, but something seems to have made writing very slow. Or perhaps you have concurrent activity on a different VM or application that competes with the physical disk head location. -- Les Mikesell [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Using storage to extend the benefits of virtualization and iSCSI Virtualization increases hardware utilization and delivers a new level of agility.
