Give each (non-raid) disk its own spindle number, and give the raids their own spindle number. But thats sure slow on /home. The only reason I can see is that the slow one is using 'user-tar' whereas the speedier ones are using the 'root-tar' dump profiles. Can you post those 2 dumptypes from your amanda.conf? -- Cheers, Gene AMD [EMAIL PROTECTED] 320M [EMAIL PROTECTED] 512M 99.26% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
