We have raised a Sun support call and have esculated this with our Sun account manager. Unfortunately we have been informed that the 1.5MBytes a second performance we are getting on this profile of files ie. 20GB of very small files, about 500,000 is as per Sun's expectations.
3 hours is our current copy time for 20GBytes of 500,000 files. We have to do this twice for each clone. What we really want is a front end interface for SCP or RSYNC or a way to use SFTP/NFS to get lots off small files off the server quickly. e.g. a tar -> pipe or temp file -> SFTP/NFS. Is there likely to be a way to get files from the NAS without going via NFS/NDMP and hence the heavy overhead in IOPs which throttle the performance for small files? Other than the performance the NAS is great! Really easy to use and good value. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list storage-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
