We use Solaris, Linux, HP-UX, FreeBSD and Windows - so upgrades are painful. However - I have now upgraded the server to 2.2.5 and it talks to old FD's on all the clients (except HP-UX) fine. I will of course get around to upgrading all the FD's in due course. However ... while the 2.2.5 restore code is clearly using seek() to get to the right place in the volume (file) - which takes about 1 day off the restore time - it still reads really really slowly. I can only assume this is caused by the fact the files are NFS mounted - I just can't understand why it would be so slow when writing the volumes is very fast! Your thoughts welcome - thanks. -- Cheers Jules. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
