Bloody stupid reply, and I'm going to make even more of a fool of
myself than with my last reply.
Can you tell us the configuration of the server you are using?

I'm clutching at straws here, but maybe the DTF will only achieve
max performance when it is on its own SCSI controller, not the one
with the disks on.
Or maybe I'm wittering and I've forgotten everything I ever thought
I knew.
Someone please wallop me with the clue stick - its far, far too long
since I've had to touch a SCSI cable or a tape.
