Re: [Bacula-users] Backing up to NetApp
Hello Dan, Put the following in your mtab or on the mount command line: rw,hard,nointr,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,bg,nfsvers=3,tcp Note: the rsize and wsize will never really be used but will be negotiated down by any Linux system to be the maximum possible (you might need to reduce it by powers of 2 until it works on FreeBSD if FreeBSD does not use negotiation such as Linux). With those parameters, the NetApp I had (some time ago) ran nearly as fast as local disks for writing Bacula volumes. You might also find the following useful: https://www.netapp.com/us/media/tr-4067.pdf Best regards, Kern On 1/20/19 12:06 PM, Dan Langille wrote: Have you backed up to NetApp?

Re: [Bacula-users] Backing up to NetApp
Hello Dan, Yes you can backup to NetApp, and if you have configured NFS properly, it can be very fast. I will ask my NetApp expert for the parameters and get back to you.
