Performance:
workstation 2.4 Ghz P4, 512 MB RAM, SATA disk
over 100 Mbps Ethernet
to server 2.4 Ghz P4, 2 GB RAM, IDE/SCSI disk array
~800000 files / 992387 links (lots of hard links)
~20 GB / 28330052 kB (multiple storage of hard links)
time: 4h33m
~ 60 files / sec.
~ 1700 kB / sec
cpu usage was negligible.
bandwidth limited by network for large files.
top files/sec was much higher than average (> 300).
conclusion: bottleneck were seek times for DA.
(hardly optimizable except maybe by sorting inode numbers)
Same the next day: 3171 files transferred. 1h20min.
~200 files / sec.
check filenames with non-ascii characters.
Seems to work, except if there are non-utf-8 filenames on a utf fs
(but that can't really work).
check gid bits.
Equality checking doesn't work if user is unknown on backup server:
-r--r--r-- 1 4294967294 users 1449 2004-12-01 15:44 2006-11-27T23.22.42/yoyo.hjp.at/home/camel/wrk/perl-5.8.8/util.h
-r--r--r-- 1 4294967294 users 1449 2004-12-01 15:44 2006-11-28T10.18.30/yoyo.hjp.at/home/camel/wrk/perl-5.8.8/util.h
should be one file with two links, not two files.
Tape performance:
DDS4 (Vendor: HP Model: C5683A):
About 5-6 MB/s for /dev/nst0, @ 64 kB Blocksize. (larger bs makes no
difference). File was about 26 MB, 75% compressible with gzip.
Equality checking doesn't work for setuid files.
Implement equality checking via saved checksum.
checksum is null if file is linked. Is that ok? Can this be solved
together with the previous point?
exit if disk full
Move prune list to config file.
