It sounds like you're having a similar experience to us, but you're a
bit further ahead; I'd expect that we'll be following shortly behind.
One thing I don't understand is quite what the difference between the
current batch of WMS jobs and those we've seen in previous hammercould
tests is - we're seeing completely different usage patterns with the
bottleneck being very definitely the DPM disk servers (and their network
links), whereas before we were being limited by the rate of
authorisations
going through the DPM head node. Is this just the result of the recent
packing together of data into fewer larger files, or something else?
