[cobalt-users] RaQ3/4 simultaneous file transfers (uploads)

["cbtrussell" <cbtrussell@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am using a single RaQ4 as a dedicated backup machine to receive transfers
from multiple client machines running raqbackup.sh. All are local on the
same network, so the transfers are quite fast. Aggregate transfer sizes
range anywhere from 50MB to 5GB.

The server has a single 5400rpm 30GB drive (actually, it has two but they
are not mirrored; a cron job runs once per day to copy the files over from
the primary to the secondary drive).

The question: how can I know when I'm reaching the capacity of the RaQ to
receive simultaneous uploads? I've got to think that some number of RaQ's
running full tilt at 4am will eventually saturate the capacity of the drive
to write all that data...anyone have any thoughts how to tell for sure?

Thanks,

Brandon
