What about the -c options from your fbackup thead?

Define slow.

How much data is on the tape? Might your data be on the very end or something?

I can't find it.

Some possible solutinos.

Hi Iphy,

I don't think you can speed up anything more now.

You can bump up the priority of your frecover process using renice command and so it will run with higher priority using -n and -p option in renice command

3renice -n -10 -p pid_of_frecove

It will make frecover run at
20(default) -10 = 10 which is higher priority then other process.

Hi!

You can do it using glance and re-nice the job or you can use the nice command to do it.

man nice for more information
