Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm using a DDS-3 drive to backup files using rdump between two private 100Mbit ports on a switched network. Dumps are fairly quick, but now I'm trying to restore a filesystem and it's going deathly slow. It's obvious from the slowly flickering drive activity and nic card lights that the efficiency of this operation could be greatly improved. Does anyone know what the problem is, and if there is anything I can do about it? -- Dan Roberts, Systems Engineer Voice 800.656.GWIS GWIS Internet Solutions Fax 330.656.5440 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
