Hi all,
am having problems with my backups on a SME server v5.
I am backing up onto a LTO tape drive which I swap tapes every morning.
I used to be getting these sort of speeds:
DUMP: 93.41% done at 4107 kB/s, finished in 0:33
DUMP: 94.20% done at 4099 kB/s, finished in 0:29
DUMP: 95.29% done at 4103 kB/s, finished in 0:24
DUMP: 95.48% done at 4070 kB/s, finished in 0:23
DUMP: 96.55% done at 4074 kB/s, finished in 0:17
DUMP: 97.71% done at 4082 kB/s, finished in 0:11
DUMP: 98.82% done at 4089 kB/s, finished in 0:06
DUMP: 99.72% done at 4086 kB/s, finished in 0:01
DUMP: Volume 1 completed at: Fri Sep 17 10:41:38 2004
DUMP: Volume 1 127035456 tape blocks (124058.06MB)
DUMP: Volume 1 took 8:38:31
but since Saturday (2004-09-18) i've been getting this:
DUMP: 94.53% done at 650 kB/s, finished in 3:14
DUMP: 94.65% done at 650 kB/s, finished in 3:10
DUMP: 94.76% done at 650 kB/s, finished in 3:06
DUMP: 94.93% done at 650 kB/s, finished in 3:00
DUMP: 95.08% done at 650 kB/s, finished in 2:55
DUMP: 95.29% done at 651 kB/s, finished in 2:47
DUMP: 95.43% done at 651 kB/s, finished in 2:42
DUMP: 95.59% done at 651 kB/s, finished in 2:36
DUMP: 95.76% done at 651 kB/s, finished in 2:30
DUMP: 95.89% done at 651 kB/s, finished in 2:26
buffer (writer): write of data failed: Input/output error
bytes to write=10240, bytes written=-1, total written 101966210K
DUMP: Broken pipe
and the backup didn't complete.... (speeds as you may notice are approx 5-6 times slower)
I've rebooted the server and cleaned the tape heads, and i can't really think of anything else to do....
I think the LTO maybe faulty... any of you had problems similar to this?
Thanks
Regards
Phil
