snipped Ahh, that makes sense. With sparse = no you get the whole device or partiton such as /dev/sda1. I image it's not default yes because according to the docs it has some small additional overhead but more importantly if Bareos detects a buffer of all zero it writes a sparse block which will causes a hole in the file which may not be good so we shouldn't use sparse on things that are not really sparse. I may try that option. Glad you found the answer.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
