Need to speed up expansion of very large savesets

[Jon Pinkley]

Kenneth,

Can you please tell us if this is related to transferring files between two systems that you have some influence over? (as you described in you previous question about PKZIP).

Also, can you specify whether restoring a complete "disk" is acceptable, as opposed to restoring files into an existing directory on a disk.

What type of file is being restored? This can affect the restore behavior for non-sequential files on disks with highwater marking set.

You ask questions, but respond to few of our questions for clarification.

An I/O avoided is faster than an optimized I/O. If you can tell us what problem you are trying to solve, we will be better able to give you a good solution.

You asked "Someone said to use the "mount" command with the following qualifiers "/blocksize & /cache" along with the "mount" command. Is this the best solution?"

My question: What problem are you asking if this the "best solution" for? What are the constraints (we can't spend any money, can use any non-supported software, etc.)
