Although not strictly Legato related, we're facing a situation where we have to recover a single 350 GB volume from tape. This volume is used in a file server (cluster).
Using SAN and multiple SuperDLT drives I can probably push a lot of GB/hour to this server when doing restore. The RAID subsystem is also high-end and can hopefully handle the load.
However, I remember I've seen something about Windows NT4 not being able to create more than a few hundred files per second per volume. Since this is a fileserver with relatively small files and lots of them, this could very well be a bottleneck. The system is Windows 2000, not NT4. Can anyone confirm/deny this limit?
