That was also my "first shot", but bacula-dir does hang in 100% cpu load during the time, with no catalog activity at all (measured using strace on the director-thread and mysqladmin processlist in the db). Building the initial interactive tree takes less then 40s. for 4m files, which is not that bad in my eyes. The database is running on a 8 core, 48GB memory machine, so the hardware is not really underpowered. (and since I see no database activity I have problems shooting at mysql). I dont have any solid evidende, but I even tend to belive that I have tested this on an earlier version of bacula and that didn't have the problem. I just did another test. I have other volumes with many files, so now I did the steps for another volume marked 10m files, it took less than 1 minute to do the same process. So the difference must be where? (in the data structure, in the database?)
