I'm getting 2.3-2.5 MB/s on this; I'm having to look hard just to see the impact at all. Even the DB disk is only rarely over 50% busy; (this particular server has its DB on one mirrored LUN) If I were pegging that spindle much of the time, I'd at least be able to see my bottleneck. Grumble. Once this restore completes, I'll do experiments with different file sizes. I sure hope that's what's going on. Ick. - Allen S. Rout
