Yep. It does that. BackupPC is very disk-intensive. > Is this normal? How long should I expect it to run? Its a raid0 with > quite normal sata-disks, nothing fancy. How long it takes all depends on how fast your machine and disks are. > And also, I'm using ext3, is there any benefit to changeing to xfs or > whats the optimal filesystem? If it's not broken, don't fix it. I typically use XFS for backuppc data these days (and ext3 for the rest of the OS); but mostly because one doesn't run into limitations on the number of extents when using XFS. Reiserfs is good as well; but might be slightly more prone to corruption and not recover from corruption as well as XFS or ext3 (this being largely based on anecdotal experiences, rather than any sort of real statistical analysys). -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
