Mount the target async while restoring, then re-mount it noasync or softdep again. I did that several times when moving my system to a new hd. If you use tar (e.g. because it's not one whole filesystem), you get more speed if you temporarily mount the source filesystem noatime. >[...] Kind regards, Hannah.
