100Mb/s=10MB/s=36000MB/hr=36GB/hr theoretical maximum. If you get 20-25GB/hr you are lucky. But this is only network speed for 100Mb/s ethernet full duplex. It is very important that you have full duplex. So you can get 20-25GB/hr if you don't have any other bottleneck with hardware. And don't

hi, besides other helpfull answers, you may want to check how quickly your client can create small files. Write a script which creates 974008 files in a directory tree in temp directory and watch. This can be a bottleneck as well. If neither this nor network is bottleneck, then tape seeks will pr
