OK I use the lines pkill hammer hammer synctid /Backup1/Data quick hammer mirror-copy /Backup1/Data /Backup2/Data at the end of /etc/rc.shutdown the "pkill hammer" command kills all "mirror-stream" processes but does not kill any kernel helper threads. Is that OK? also while starting "hammer mirror-stream" using /etc/rc.local there are 3 mirror-stream processes. root 574 0.0 0.0 396 136 con- IL 8:31AM 0:00.00 hammer mirror-stream /Backup1/Data /Backup2/Data root 591 0.0 0.0 1100 236 con- IL 8:31AM 0:00.00 hammer mirror-stream /Backup1/Data /Backup2/Data root 592 0.0 0.0 1100 224 con- IL 8:31AM 0:00.00 hammer mirror-stream /Backup1/Data /Backup2/Data Is this OK? I have a doubt since you said " The mirroring utility is not designed to handle parallel feeds to the same PFS target." Thanks Siju
