Hello dear Bacula users!
I have a problem: during a migration job my drive stops
quite often. The migration job finished with that message:
14-Mar 13:57 hugo-dir: The following 1 JobIds will be migrated: 3
14-Mar 13:57 hugo-dir: Migration using JobId=3 Job=zoii.2007-03-13_21.21.09

Sometimes the drive ran like for 10 minutes or so without stoping,
sometimes it stopped and rewound every ten seconds.
The transfer rate should also be 20MB/s or more, since compression is
enabled but because of the stopping it dropped to 10MB/s.
I ran several more Migration jobs with about 150GB and the same happened.
I am using a standard PC with 2 recent WesternDigital IDE-ATA
harddrives, my Tapedrive (Tandberg LTO2) is connected to a SCSI
controller, the computer has 512 MB RAM, and a 2.8GHz Celeron CPU, 1GBit
Intel connected to a 3com GBit switch. During the migration no other
jobs are running on the machine.
Sometimes I noticed high database (PostgreSQL) activity. The database is
for Bacula only. Could it have to do with the 2.1 million files for backup?
Do you experience similar behavior? I am afraid that this could shorten
my drives lifespan enormously.
Are there any settings to speed up the tapedrive or migration?
Thank you very much in advance,
Damian Lubosch
