In particular it is a VERY BAD IDEA to have your catalog DB and your Bacula backup storage on the same physical devices. Both of those are high-I/O operations. You can EASILY saturate your I/O with a configuration like this, especially if you're writing to RAID5 where every write requires a parity calculation. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958 _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
