In my experience big volumes get poor performance if you have jurnalling active. I use 40 Gb volumes (limited by Maximum Volume Size) mounting archive file systems as EXT2 instead of EXT3 (a possible fsck of file system with a few big files is very fast and volume files open in writing during a backup are useless anyway) adn performance does not depend any more on file size (at least I cannot appreciate it).

We think it might have a big impact on performance when you tell bacula to have several files with the size of...let's say 5gb each instead of one huge 230gb file. -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen / with kind regards Rudolph Bott ------------------------------------------------------------------- Megabit Informationstechnik GmbH Karstr.25 41068 Moenchengladbach Tel: 02161/308980 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ftp://megabit.net Fax: 02161/3089818 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://megabit.net ------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
