Hello, I am running a Bacula backup server (ver.1.38.5) on a RH-EL4 system with ~30 Linux clients. All the clients are running on Intel i386 platforms with the exception of one system. This x86_64 system is running the RH-EL4 x86_64 version of the OS. It is this system I have a problem with. Full backups take forever. A full backup of 10gigs takes 25-35 minutes on other systems, but this system it takes 24-36 HOURS. Also, the CPU on this system is slammed to 95-98 percent while the backup is operating. I'll add the back/restore operations do work, but it takes forever, and the user can not use the machine while the backup is in progress. This system has a fast CPU AMD 3800 ATHLON and 1Gig ram. The motherboard is a MSI K8N Neo2, Video is xfx-geforce 6800gs agp.
Also, I'll note another network attached type backup program, Bru-Pro, has the same problem, only worse. I mention this because I think their is some under lying common problem between these two applications; accessing file systems, indexing files, compressing file systems, and transferring file system data over a network. All the other applications work just fine on this computer (HTTP, NFS, Mail,etc). No delays or sluggish behavior when backup applications are in a standby/inactive state. “Top” reports normal cache, buffer amounts while running the backup applications. The logs do not suggest problems. Any ideas as to what is causing Bacula (and BRU-Pro for that matter) to take so much time and CPU resource and how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. x86_86 client's config.out: Configuration on Wed Mar 8 14:36:25 CST 2006: Host: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu -- redhat Enterprise release Bacula version: 1.38.5 (18 January 2006) Source code location: .
