[Bacula-users] Questions about spooling

2011-09-01 Thread frank_sg
Hi, I am doing some tests about spooling. I have created a spool filesystem for testing purposes. I decided to try a quiet small one - just 10 GB. Well, I get an ugly perfomance (10MB/s) with this one. So I assume that the spool file system is too small - is this assumption right? To get a

I have no answer sorry, just more questions :) How do you measure the performance? Does the 10MB/s comes from the bacula job report? regards. Le 01/09/2011 11:36, frank_sg a crit: Hi, I am doing some tests about spooling. I have

Thanks fpr replying. @Alexandre: Yes, exactly, the 10MB/s (average) come from bacula job report. @Marcello: No - very time the spool fs is full (or the maximum spool size per job etc.) is reached the spool fs is despooled to tape. And that is where I hope to get the advantage from: despooling
