I'm trying to backup a home partition with amanda under Sun Solaris 9 with Amanda version 2.4.4p1:
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on /dev/md/dsk/d0 102G 50G 51G 50% /home which contains a lot of i-nodes: Filesystem iused ifree %iused Mounted on /dev/md/dsk/d0 2932711 9923481 23% /home I can write it to tape in ~5-6 hours using plain gtar but amanda seems to be busy for several hours (10+) without writing anything to tape. Is there a workaround to get the partition backed up? Why amanda is so slow? Is it related to the number of i-nodes or the size of the partition? Thanks for any help Zoltan __________________________________________________________________ http://www.inf.u-szeged.hu/~kato/ -- research in computer vision http://www.cameradigita.com/ -- photography (online gallery) __________________________________________________________________
