Hi all, since changing some things as pointed out (thanks again to all hints) the error now has luckily disappeared :-) . Although it may happen again I just want to give a short feedback on what we've changed: - increased the mountlimit from default 20 -> 200 on the devclass of the file-pool - increased the random-acces backuppool - decreased the migration thresholds for both random-access ( 90/50 -> 60/20 ) and the sequential file-pool ( 90/70 -> 90/50 ) - moving from 'random migration by thresholds' to 'schedulded migration by time' with the 'duration=xx' option, running through admin-schedules at times with not much activity.
So until now everything is fine and the overall throughput-rate is much better now; things wanted to do anyway to not weigh down the nightly backups with migrations. the stages now appear something like ...
