Try changing your Maximum Network Buffer size in your bacula-sd config. Something like Maximum Network Buffer Size = 262144 #65536 Maximum block size = 262144
Keep in mind that this will make your sd unable to read previous backups, IIRC. Search archives for this parameter, e.g. http://old.nabble.com/LTO-4-performance--td17407840.html Regards, Alex On 04/28/2011 11:08 AM, Jason Voorhees wrote: > Hi: > > I'm running Bacula 5.0.3 in RHEL 6.0 x86_64 with a Library tape IBM > TS3100 with hardware compression enabled and software (Bacula) > compression disabled, using LTO-5 tapes.
