I run mine at 20.  I max out a pair of 100Mb cards at times.
I tweak the spindle numbers on some client machines to set the max on
them to 1 or 2.

What do you mean "up to 8"?  The default is 10.

Are you actually putting spindle numbers in your disklist file?  Why do
you thing you're getting "spindle contention" (not saying you aren't,
just trying to understand what you're seeing).

I think all of mine are at the default (10) or I've lowered a few where
there was no chance of running more than (e.g.) 3 backups at the same
time.

inparallell option in amanda.conf

2002-02-14 Thread Don Potter

I'm trying this outI have more than enough holding are and network 
bandwidth..so I was wondering how many users actually adjust this 
value.I have been up to 8 but I have usually become involved with 
spindle contention.  Is there anybody that has opted to increase to 
anything near what the max value is.  Or is it the consensus of the 
group to remain at the default.


Thanks for any input.
