Hi, I have a little problem: I have an autochanger with two devices. In former times, after I issued a "unmount storage=blah drive=0" the sd status for that device was displayed as "BLOCKED by user", which should still be the case, according to the documentation. Since some months, this seems

Adrian Reyer: Make sure you have cache ram on your raid controller and a battery backup unit installed. MySQL and Postgres like to write in sync. With BBU+cache the write is completed as soon as the controller has the data, no need to wait for disks. I doubt RAID0 would gain you much if any.

Hi, the problem: I've got some backup job that does a full backup once a week and differential ones every other day. The full backup streams with the nominal data rate of the tape device, which is fine. But for incremental jobs, the rate is normally far beyond that rate. Now the question, is
