So, I have switched to spooling, on the advice I've seen written recently... sounds like the way to go, especially if you only have one tape drive. I expected a speed increase too, as the drive would be used more efficiently. What I did not expect is the 1000Kps speed DECREASE. Can anyone tell me why this might be? This is a Solaris 9, Sun UE450 box, 3x296 with a DAT72 drive.

Here are the stats:

No spooling:

This can't be network speed, as it is spooled. The only thing I'm thinking is that the disk could be THAT slow? Doesn't seem likely. The disk and tape are not likely to be on the same controller. Any tips?

Thanks!
