I find restoring from a tape extraordinarly slowwwww.  I have home directories on a clustered pair of F840 running 6.1.1r2.  I have several volumes at about 300gb usable.  When I need to restore a file from a users directory it can take up to 6+ hours (DLT 8000).   It appears most of the time is taken searching for the files...  is there anything you can suggest (including any white papers) to speed up this process?

thanks again

Don
