I was just wondering if any of you guys have ever had this problem, we are trying to recall a file about 15 gigs in size, and we keep getting a user time out error does anyone know how I can recall this file?
What version of EV are you running? There was a change in sp1 that should have helped that.
Restoring large files from Placeholders Opening or copying a FSA Placeholder failed if the archived file was larger than memory available on the Storage Service computer. The error received by the user was specific to the application that was being used to the open the Placeholder.
This has been fixed. Large files (.DVF files) are now recalled as multiple segments.
If that is not your issue, then you could try uping the asp page time out in IIS I guess.
How long does it take to time out? Is there anything in the IIS logs? Additionally, you could dtrace the placeholder service to see if it reveals anything relevant.
