Hello, I was reading through the page (link below) and this sentence looks very interesting from performance perspective. I am using the default on version 9 and it seems to be 1 GB, but according to this document, 5 GB is better. So the question is, why isn't 5GB the default? Asking because, I suspect there is might be side effect of increasing it and hence the lower default.
Do most of you change it? If you have changed it, did you notice any side effect after applying the change? ===== If you have LTO-3 or LTO-4 drives, you should be able to fairly good transfer rates; from 60 to 150 MB/second, providing you have fast disks; GigaBit Ethernet connections (probably 2); you are running multiple simultaneous jobs; you have Bacula data spooling enabled; your tape block size is set to 131072 or 262144; and you have set Maximum File Size = 5G. === https://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/problems/problems/Testing_Your_Tape_Drive.html Regards, William _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
