I noticed this mentionned in the archives but the issue was never resolved. Evidently performing smbclient tar restores is excruciatingly slow. I noticed this while trying to restore my amanda backups to a w95 machine over samba - well over 24 hours for 850 MB. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Is there anything I can tweak or change to fix this? Restores at this speed make my backups seem useless. :\ Thanks, Ian Turner -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org mQGiBDfkgYERBAC7vHU9ULWvDjKn/RzM7vdPwo1grC+rVzbKQ+TEX9kZL2KK7+oQ 0dufGbmCZBaja2Uqn65Qp/e8ZFwtgR3UJ/8aae1iGpi6svvYqJukHEEcoe3Ja3F9 cmya1WoefSP1w+KTAsSvVM51SfBHSANum1sjY/cICFI9YoCdcRKYCk5XVwCg5w9G WjRELr/0pfL56sXmXG3KxnEEAIOkn189rToLi/VAq+ndPcPxI+iPz+bKO/CtHSku QB/nGeZl1SEzpaWI/vwLChrdtEKabkpQkfge6AHxeizhsxvfSee2EHjS5ZafEy/u TlSupQhbP4sCca8WwXnuCpObDu8wJYhtrukjtr1e9Y05FrAvpOBITpqGdhpdcWMy bTWrA/43MM1fjekgPol5Ket76Zzwv0E64BL/h2wAahPU5bl2yJ/7Os2S9hqAYPQz yEnvGS8mHTgZPEelyeBrpfwDvr3mxzI16eebLCVaJF8il/16vpqwuFf6Ybo3VRvc 5lzjIqf8pqEBlDVl8wv4vKtNZshSLlT3A0VWpJ34K23C5GadhLQgSWFuIFR1cm5l ciA8dmVjdHJvQHBpcGVsaW5lLmNvbT6IVQQTEQIAFQUCN+SBgQMLCgMDFQMCAxYC AQIXgAAKCRB+f25v1kTXGiMUAKCxQTUPFnJhvEhN8AD8p4Td3vkZwACgyplxK+c+ pVbGHCRWdrhsDE4t+6eIRgQQEQIABgUCN+rf4wAKCRD4rtsK1HaXaD5yAJ49U2Zg TH9a9tRATmW8ttQm7Kj7KgCfYG352OZRB2YfSWEZYlt+MYrwDOqIRgQQEQIABgUC N/g/YQAKCRBOXEZM+RbMr7LLAJ4hdDcQhkGs4HSz5AP1WBeWcHZJiwCghu7hHZaq tDm0XtTt1ood/g4aKoO5AY0EN+SBnBAGAJiUIDNEJRBvhzBBaTIUE3/YCzNB3uIX aMYaTiXAXXA4a5hjEnuDxQ81s35LJhzHvHyPok4T+2OCoZZeRIiXTO1tCypVWRnZ +tKfgN7e1nbyyX+anzTeUmdkQe/ZnIy51WvOyNr6PF/Uv0MfIgIhlaYwydiCJadd uP9ioYadALqj56n2MYFthTXGYS949QuHQTboS2XfdTH/3RzfDtjyuz6GgosP3/5c MV/Gtf5TfwxgThJSaRsj2hxX+WLRPw4UJwADBQX+KB5lg6BhVCZnHdcBbohPhZSE A5yydXejAp5ZX6wg3np0ZQNPA98+4BKLDCkJ7ul/XisWohE2L7gjksWu6SpF98VM //S5WWKvYiB1qzx35M42jjzLtTW8AehkshFU+K1IppW+lfvonqdfCR7E41ayX8fT DJS3nEDZuKpSan0QfGKA9731Hky7cCr/QkYBbozoKcJBg6zNrIq9c7vJtYoPDlBa 78cEw696w6tM3bBovo0oyHykGmH7+hHSNhnE8lhhiEYEGBECAAYFAjfkgZwACgkQ fn9ub9ZE1xq6kACdH4EWYNdoMIFUZ4W0j9DQ7tpKkFgAnio422F423tRMDxYN8Xl 9Fz4Eh3X =kdPN -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
