Archiving speed is very very slow

[sudhir7]

I tried to archive data by adding frozenTimePeriodInSecs and coldToFrozenDir settings for individual indexes in local/indexes.conf.
We have 10TB of data to be archive but the rate of archiving was very very slow around 1GB/day.
Has anyone else faced a similar situation ?

Your whole index is 10TB and a the day to freeze is how many GB?
My system here is freezing about 10GB/day, but only because the events should be frozen. The Index is about 1TB.
Also the discs are not highspeed just a bunch of normal discs.

Hi Elsurion,
Thanks for your reply.
We are using SATA disk, could that be the reason for slowness ?

I don't think so. Unless you have just one disc which is used for others as well and not a whole cabinet.
But you could run bonnie++ to check your filesystem for benchmark issues.
