Hi all,
I have a Seagate Tapestore 8G on a scsi-2 controller. When I back up
my drives(ext2, vfat) and some smbfs mounted drives(over a 10-T) it
seems to take too long. I am just using tar whith compression. Here
are the stats from tar:
Total bytes written: 5752760320 (5.8 Gb) (contained in 130541 files/dir)
Elapsed time: 05:14:882, 18882 sec
Throughput per second: 298Kb/sec
Is this expected? The tape says that it should get between 600Kb/sec
and 1000Kb/sec depending on compression ratio.
What can I do to speed this up?
Thanks,
--
Brian
