I'm running a system with NBU6.0 MP3. After just a couple months of
operation, the catalog appears to be growing quite a bit faster than
the old 5.1 catalog did. Is this expected?
Also, I'm doing a lot of Netapp NDMP backups (both direct and 3-way,
I'm not doing any remote at the moment). Even with no data moving
through the master server, I'm completely blitzing the catalog disk
with 3 or 4 simultaneous full backups running. I'm sure that many of
these volumes have way too many tiny files, but I don't recall this
problem with 5.x. I can get 30MB/s+ with LTO3 on small numbers of
backups, but I appear to really throttle everything down if I try to
run 6 or 7.
I'll look into seeing how I can speed up the local catalog storage,
but I'm wondering if anyone has seen similar things when
transitioning?
Thanks!
