I've noticed that my backups of AFS are throttled by the CPU. (I'm backing up to intermediate disk files and from there to tape using NetWorker. Both volserver and vos are rather hungry for CPU, I notice. I have disk systems that could take a lot more than is currently being fed from/to them, but the speed of my backups is being limited by the CPU resources available.)
I'm still on commercial AFS. Replacing volserver and vos with the OpenAFS 1.4.7 versions only made the matter worse. Any insight (or better yet, help that does not rely on replacing the hardware :-) would be welcome. -- Atro Tossavainen (Mr.) / The Institute of Biotechnology at Systems Analyst, Techno-Amish & / the University of Helsinki, Finland, +358-9-19158939 UNIX Dinosaur / employs me, but my opinions are my own. < URL : http : / / www . helsinki . fi / %7E atossava / > NO FILE ATTACHMENTS _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
