AIUI, LTO can throttle to half its rated speed, but below that it's forced to shoeshine. Are you seeing that at all? --
There's no easy way to tell wether it's shoeshinning or not. The performance is fine for us. Were not backing up a lot of data. I should probably put a better SCSI card in the server though. It never occured to me that the LTO could not throttle to lower than 20 Mb/sec.
