Hello,
I'm getting my Quantum Dlt 4000 going with bacula. I've included my
definitions below and the job that i'm running. I'm not getting very good
performance with the spool, the drive starts and stops quite frequently, it
is on an Adaptec Ultrawide 2940 scsi controller. I was wondering the optimal
size of a tape data spool?
Thanks.
Dave.
