With occasional movement on the > drive. With "occasional movement on the drive"? Please provide more details. The tape drive should be running mostly continuously. If it start-stops all the time, you have a problem. Is your network connection even fast enough? You mentioned you had a DLT4000. This has a rather fearsome throughput, you'll need a well-going 100Mbit/s network to accommodate it. If your network throughput throttles back the drive, it will have to stop, wait, rewind to pick up where it left off, and start up again. This greatly increases wear, noise, and can badly drop the *average* throughput. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
