Slow listing of LTo5 tape contents
Hi,
We are taking our filesystem backup having size of 1.3 TB on LTO5 catridges using the following command
find * -print|backup -ivf '/dev/rmt0' '-U'
i.e backup byname and it took about 6.5 Hours to complete When we are listing same tape contents using the following command
restore -lTf '/dev/rmt0'
then it took almost the same time to list the contents in which backup was completed. Is there any way to fasten the tape content listing? Any help any idea would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

BACKUP-WHATSTHIS(1) Chiark-backup BACKUP-WHATSTHIS(1) NAME
backup-whatsthis - read an id off a tape and display it SYNOPSIS
backup-whatsthis [--list [n]] DESCRIPTION
`backup-whatsthis' is a simple script to display the TAPEID of the current tape and optionally list its contents. This script is a bit of a hack and may not be fully reliable. OPTIONS
--list [n] Print TAPEID then list archive n (default 0). Note that archives are numbered from zero. FILES
/etc/chiark-backup/settings.pl Configuration file for the whole of chiark-backup BUGS
`backup-whatsthis' is currently hardwired to assume `cpio' type backups when listing; it could be trivially hardwired to assume `zafio' or with slightly more effort it could be done properly :->. AUTHOR
