Hi,

I've noticed that the console program becomes unresponsive for a long
time when marking a largeish directory for restore. For example, for
a directory with 800,000 files it took four hours between typing
"mark directory" and getting a prompt to actually start the job (the
actual restore only took about 1 hour). This is obviously going to
be a major problem when restoring very large directories as it would
take days before it even starts reading the tape. The time seems to
scale roughly linearly with the number of files marked.

Has anybody else noticed this? Is there a way round this I haven't
spotted?

I don't think the problem is the database access speed, the director
appears to be CPU-bound.

Thanks,
Rob
