Try upgrading the 5.5.1 system to 2.6 + patches. 2.6 did alot of work on the IO subsystem. We've seen wonderfull improvements with our various backup servers when we made these changes. Not directly related, but close.
Not sure if I made this clear on the first email.
Thor was put on, and Sif was not. The 5.7 system HAS NOT been on the filer yet. So your saying if I do the 5.7 and everything is fine, then upgrade the OS? I guess that should be the next step.
