Thanks Griffyn, I'll check it out.

No. the volumes are defragmented and there's also no compression happening.

I have a Windows NT4 NTFS4 file-system with approx 1 million files. I'm getting extremely poor performance from the file system - for example when backing the server up I get a throughput of 12 kb/sec. Is there any way of improving the file-systems performance?

Does anyone know of a tool/utility that can simulate a 300 users simultaneously randomly accessing shares on a windows 2000 server? The windows 2000 resource kit CD has a tool for simulations of loads on a IIS webserver, but not a straight fileserver... George

Hi, One of my customers has a SAN consisting of several Linux servers and one Windows2000-SP2 server. First, I'll give you a bit of background info: They run Legato Networker 6.1.3 to backup all these servers to a tape library which is also attached to the SAN. All of the servers have a copy of...

Thanks Bill. I've taken my break as you suggested and now have a few questions: 1) I take it that your firewall translates your internal private IP addresses to that single public IP addr that your ISP provides you? Does your firewall perform some sort of DNS lookup to figure out what your...

Hi, Thanks for that. I accept the fact that 5.1 is a more refined product, but what I was told was that there are quite major differences between 5.0 and 5.1. Refinments/fine-tuning don't sound to me like "major" differences. I know 5.0 pretty well. Is it a steep learning curve if I...

Great thanks for that. After reading that info, it looks to me like 5.1 has most of what 5.0 has - but with a bit more stability. Am I right?

Hi, someone recently told me that there are major differences between Netware versions 5.0 and 5.1. Can someone please outline what the main differences are??

If you're notebooks are running the Novell Client, there's an environment tab which lets you specify up to 3 variables. You could enter "NONAL" into the "%2" variable, then in your login script at the point where you launch nal or nalexplorer, you'd say IF...

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly with your suggestions. Databaseda, when I click on the "Lotus Notes Server" to expand the database, this also takes forever! The hourglass appears and again it appears as though it's gone to sleep....In anycase, my nightly backup jobs are in...

I'm running Arcserve2000 to backup my remote Domino server. When the backup job starts, it connects to the Notes server but then nothing happens for 2 hours after which it begins backing up all the databases. It's as if the backup job goes to sleep for 2 hours before backing anything up!! The...

Hi, How many Notes databases exist on your Notes server? What version of Domino are you running? What's the total size (disk size) of your Notes databases?

Hi, We have a Domino 5.0.8 server running on a Dell PowerEdge 6450 with 4 Xeon-700Mhtz, 1024MB-RAM system, hardware Raid-5 disk array, windows2000. We've noticed that each time we have to shut the server down completely, it takes between 1 and 3 hours for the windows2000 startup process to get...

Hi, We're running Netware 5.0 with NDS v7.51. We will be creating a Microsoft Active Directory Tree on our network as well and we want to setup the AD Tree to be as identical as possible to our NDS Tree structure. Does anyone know of a utility that lets me export the NDS database to a CSV or...
