[SunHELP] [Q] SUN L9 (DLT8000) run very slowwwww ....

[L]

We have SUN 280R (Solaris 8) with external SUN L9 tape library
(DLT8000).  i found the tape driver run very slow.  Our nightly ORACLE
backup (use "tar" utility, few files, but big size) total 20GB.  It take
almost 4 hours to finish.  Base on DLT8000 document, the speed should
6Mb/12Mb per second.  That mean even on 6Mb/sec, a hour DLT8000 can backup
20GB.  Can anyone tell me what wrong it is?


Thanks.
