Hi, is there a way to see if a tape/drive is shoe-shining? I've backup jobs that will run for several days, with spooling it will take even longer.
I tried to backup with and without spooling, both jobs wrote with ~75 MB/s to the tape. But I can't say if there were short periods of time where the drive had to stop/start again. LTO-4 needs a minimum speed of 40 MB/s (nativ) to write continuously to the tape. I monitored the disk/net stats on the backup sever with dstat. Most of the time disk IO was >60 MB/s, but there where some short interrupts. How can I get information about how often a tape drive started/stopped writing to tape? Is there a way to monitor the throughput of the SCSI interface to the drive?
