Oops, I waited for the others and now I see that I'm waiting too much :o) I still do use Maximum Block Size = 65536 and I never had the problem. The big win is that 64 KB (yes, somewhat smaller would be even safer...) is portable and you will not have problem read it anywhere. And FreeBSD does not have a problem with this. I can feed LTO-5 with >= 250 MB/s. It just works and currently I do not have any reason to increase it. I just seen problems with such small blocks on Linux until now. But try it yourself, somebody else can have different experiences. -- Rudolf Cejka <cejkar at fit.vutbr.cz> http://www.fit.vutbr.cz/~cejkar Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Information Technology Bozetechova 2, 612 66 Brno, Czech Republic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
