Re: LTO-3 Drive



Sorry, correction - I am only getting 2.5MB/s

What am I doing wrong? or is this a case of marketing documentation gone wrong...

Dear List,

Have any of you played with an LTO-3 drive? I am trying to work out where people get their value of 30-40MB/s streaming...

I have tried with tar, star, etc - and no luck. My maximum so far has been 11MB/s.

I have tried changing the block size, fs size (star) - but no luck. My FC Raid 5 array in the background is not the bottle neck. My tar archive consists of 10x 300MB files.

The server is a P4 - 3.2GHz with 2GB RAM, and the drive is connected via a PCI-X 100 Adaptec SCSI controller.


Thanks for any advice,

Andrew
