RALUS performance
has anyone managed to achieve "reasonable performance" with ralus agent on linux ?
I can't manage more than 6MB/s with this, no matter what I twiddle in the ralus.cfg
or elsewhere (5MB/s is closer to the truth)
source is a couple of OES (suse 10) servers, amd64 (dual quadcore xeon DL380's)
with no load (no users) at backup time, 1000basetx to BE server.
disk io on the source is not an issue here, that abysmal throughput remains
whether backing up 2GB images or smaller files.
network bandwidth to the BE server is fine, ttcp fills the links (>80%), smb copies
hit 40MB/s, ftp >70MB/s.
ralus version is 1324, BE server is a DL185 (dual quadcore opteron with 4G) on 2k3 server with
12*750G satas on a p400 (512M) to stage transfer to LTO4 overland neo library.
so the question is, does anyone actually use BE to backup linux servers, and if so,
what sort of performance are you seeing ?
backing up >1TB with this is a completely unfunny joke as it stands right now.
if someone else has managed to make RALUS not-suck, I'll persevere, however,
I get the distinct feeling I'm wasting my time right now.
many thanks
