One other piece of info--the 220 is used to store Netnews data. When I am testing I have not turned news off, so the data is continually changing. When I do the actual transfer news will be turned off. But
No it's not. The ndmpcopy is doing a dump on the source filer, so the data is comming out of a snapshot.
Technically you're right, the data being copied is static thanks to Snapshots, but with a (full?) news feed on an F220 both the file system and the filer's memory are being aggitated quite vigorously. This is sure to have a deleterious effect on the performance of ndmpcopy.
