Hi Udo,

Thanks for your input, with the itdt command I got the following;

| Yes  | 64      | 29999   | 152.646| 196.526  |

In the Device resource for my LTO drive I've added;

Minimum block size = 256K # Seemed to be optimal
Maximum blocksize = 512K  # Seemed to be optimal
Maximum File Size = 29G   # Less start-stops for EOF marks

The Bacula docs defines a default of 64K which seemed to perform 'poorly' for 
my drive.

Now I'm running a test copy job of 600GB, averaging 210MB/sec and peaking 
240MB/sec at time, huge improvement, never heard the drive zoom so hard during 
writes.

Thank you once again!

- Gilles


Hi Gilles,

That's good news. Please leave out the "Minimum Block Size". "Maximum Block 
Size" defines also the default that will be used. ITDT made up the 29G, you don't need to 
adhere to them. Even though 1024K Transfer Size is not listed in the ITDT table you should give it 
a try.
Please reevaluate your spool disk. As you can see in the ITDT table you already 
need 389MB/sec sustained if data is compressible.

br, Udo
