Ok, I made this:
[root@qsrpsbk1 spool]# dd if=/dev/urandom of=random.tst bs=1M count=10240
[root@qsrpsbk1 spool]# dd if=random.tst of=/dev/st0 bs=2048k count=5000
5000+0 records in
5000+0 records out
10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 160.232 s, 65.4 MB/s
The block size of 2048k is the same I'm using at Bacula Storage Daemon
configuration (Maximum Block Size = 2097152). Why the speed of dd was
65 MB/s when my Despooling speed is about ~80-90 MB/s?
Well, these are my results of a bonnie++ test:
[root@qsrpsbk1 ~]# bonnie++ -d /opt/spool/ -u bacula
Using uid:500, gid:33.
