Re: Added 39.6GB file to backup, time only grew 4 minutes.

I went into DSPLOGBRM and got pretty much the exact second that I saw
"Starting save of list *LINK to devices". Then I searched the flight
recorder for that date. Once I found the date I scanned for that time.
2/03/15 1:41:14 Starting save of list *LINK to devices TAPKVL01.
wrklnk '/tmp/brms/flight*'
Picked the one without an extension.

It repeats this command a few times in the flight recorders:

Even then I'd bet that it doesn't use the command, based on this:

Hi Rob,

I have checked the flight recorders, but I have not seen any commands
you pasted here. Is it a setting somewhere?

Regards,
Bon

ASYNCBRING:.

Comparing that with the BRMS flight recorder and it doesn't look like we
are using that.

Rob,

Are you using ASYNCBRING, default is *NO.
You may see even faster results.
My entire IFS save is only 5 minutes, LTO5 fiber.

Added a 39.6GB stream file to our backup. The save time only grew four
minutes. Yes, I am rather fond of fiber LTO4 drives.
