Ah! I see. Thanks for the clarifiction Leon! > If you're not using different partitions on different disks, then doing > anything in parallel is probably going to slow it down (reading/writing > all over the disk, means more seektime, which means waiting). No, its just a single partition. But the "single disk" is a hardware RAID5 at one end. (The other backup end is a SATA drive) Is it still pretty much typical that the disk is the bottleneck? Not CPU/memory etc.? In spite of the diff computation etc. does disk seek remain the bottleneck usually. -- Rahul -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
