I agree. Aside from a few hiccups with having device names changed (easy to fix), there's nothing permanent done. > The problem here is probably from having dedup enabled.

Reading any of this will incur a deduplication table > lookup, which can be quite expensive in terms of random seeks I've disabled it, and I believe that our backup software's "maintenance" function re-packs client archives, so within a couple of days (it's configurable how often this runs per-client), things will improve, provided the server is able to chew through the archives quickly enough. After I enabled dedupe, I never saw the ratio change from 1.00; I later learned archives are encrypted with a client-specific key, so theoretically, they're almost completely unique- a worst-case scenario for the dedup lookup, right? I'll have more to report in about a week, hopefully good news. Is there a way to measure the size of the lookup table? Sidenote: could someone fix the mailman settings for the list? They're currently set such that the Reply-To: headers make it annoying to reply to an individual off-list, destroying the functionality of reply vs reply-all. -B _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
