I didn't find it in the documentation. I've been wondering about that. I wish one of the developers would chime in here. I seem to remember that a trick used on tape drives is to write an EOF marker every so often, then when restoring, the drive can quickly seek X EOF markers ahead before it has to slow down to read through the data. If I'm understanding this correctly, there's no reason Bacula can't do the same thing with file volumes. If it writes an EOF marker every 4G (which it seems to, based on your output) it can seek() to the within 4G of the data it needs, then it only needs to read() through a maximum of 4G to get the data. Again, I wish a developer would chime in and comment on whether I'm correct or not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
