In the interest of differences in setup, and why you are not having troubles, I have a few questions to ask... How many hosts do you back up? What does df -i show for the mount point? Did you use an external log? Did you use any other specific optimizations when creating the file system (version 2 log, modified suint and/or swidth)? How big is the filesystem? How full is it? > Do you run an xfs_fsr on the filesystem now and then to keep > fragmentation down? > Daily.
