| Changeset | stored: increase default block size to 1M Historically Bareos uses a default block size of 63k (64.512 bytes). This usually works fine, until you use a modern tape drive. We already have a whilepaper on how to achieve good performance with tape drives, but you need to reconfigure the block sizes and there are a lot of ways you can break Bareos that way. With the default block size set to 1M (1.048.576 bytes), there is no need to configure a custom block size for tapes anymore, as this new default now provides optimum performance for recent tape drives out of the box. The default has been chosen carefully to provide optimum performance while retaining maximum interoperability. As there are still hostadapters (e.g. smartpqi) that cannot handle I/O larger than 1M and tape performance does not show significant increase when using a blocksize larger than 1M, this seems to be the reasonable choice. |
