Hello,
Sorry, i don't see any speed increases and the tape still does the stop
and start like it did before i added the data spool options. So it winds up,
runs, then spins down, and does that repeatedly, stops and starts.
Dave.

Dave,
What DO you see happening? You've given no indication. Is it just not
faster? Do you see the tape stopping and starting? That is an important
piece of information

Hello,
Running bacula 1.38.9 on freebsd. I'm trying to get data spooling to
work for my tape jobs, those files i offload off of disk(s) on to tape.
I've got the below configuration, but as i understand it data spooling
is suppose to increase backup speed by writing continuously to tape so
it doesn't stop, start, stop, start etc. but instead goes continuously
until done? With this configuration i do not see this happening with my
drive, it's a quantum dlt 4000 connected to an adaptec 2940u scsi
controller card. I'd appreciate any pointers.
Thanks.
Dave.
