Hi,

When using accurate=yes and verify=pins5, does Bacula recalculate the MD5
for each file even when the atime/mtime/ctime of the file has not changed?
I have large files (~60GB) that rarely change in a directory; usually just
a new large file is added every couple of weeks... files are rarely ever
deleted and never modified. When I run the incremental, however, it is
taking hours to examine the files. Is there anything I can do to speed this
up? I have what should be plenty of memory (32GB). Job and FileSet
definitions are below.

Job {
        Name = "Big Files"
        Write Bootstrap = "/var/db/bacula/bigfiles-%s-%e.bsr"
        JobDefs = DefaultJob
        Type = Backup
        Level = Incremental
        Client = FreeNAS-fd
        FileSet = "Big Files"
        Spool Data = yes
        Storage = TapeLibrary
        Pool = File
        Accurate = yes
        Schedule=LargeFileCycle
        Priority = 12
}

FileSet {
  Name = "Big Files"
  Include {
   Options {
    signature = MD5
    Accurate=pins5 #should allow keeping track of deleted/renamed files.
    verify = pins5 #compare permission bits, then inodes, number of links,
size, and finally MD5 changes
    IgnoreCase = yes
   }
   File = "/media/DataSet1/Big Files/"
  }
}

Thanks,

B. Smith
