It depends on your dataset, I use 32 GiB personally, back in the day I used to use 2048 MiB but with drive backup speeds > 100 MiB/s the drive barely spins up for a few seconds before it has to take a moment and write a marker every 2 gigabytes, I recommend a higher value. Obviously the higher the value means the longer it will take to seek for an individual file so its up to you to pick a good value. > > > > I would be pleased about some experienced data from same environments > (Windows NTFS Filesystem). > > > > thanks in advance and greetings, > > Oliver Mohre > > > > > > _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
