Dear list, I have a speed question about my DLT tape drive. First some tech:
The controller: description: SCSI storage controller product: AIC-7892A U160/m vendor: Adaptec physical id: 9 bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:09.0 logical name: scsi0 version: 02 width: 64 bits clock: 66MHz capabilities: scsi bus_master cap_list scsi-host configuration: driver=aic7xxx latency=64 maxlatency=25 mingnt=40 resources: iomemory:ff6fe000-ff6fefff irq:177 The Tape Drive: Vendor: COMPAQ Model: DLT4000 Rev: D887 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 target0:0:6: Beginning Domain Validation target0:0:6: FAST-10 SCSI 10.0 MB/s ST (100 ns, offset 15) target0:0:6: Domain Validation skipping write tests target0:0:6: Ending Domain Validation But the general speed with which Bacula saves to disk is: Bytes/sec=2,091,958. I could be daft here, but that's about 1.9950MB per second. While the drive is supposed to be able to write with 10MB's per second.(?) The data being backed up is on a software raid1, and reading is currently around 60, which should be plenty for the Tape drive. The Storage Data section: Device { Name = DLT-IV Archive Device = /dev/nst0 Media Type = Tape LabelMedia = yes Random Access = no AutomaticMount = yes RemovableMedia = yes Offline On Unmount = yes Maximum Open Wait = 172800 Volume Poll Interval = 60 Close on Poll= Yes AlwaysOpen = yes What am I doing wrong? What other config settings are there? Thanks, Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
