Hi,

I have lost a fileserver because of a corruption on the reiserfs v3.
Something like 1000 volumes and 100GB of data were lost.  The backups
were made using amanda with standard tar. =20

My problem is the recovering of the data to the surviving filesystem
is taking too much time.  Something like 7 hours to recover 7 GB.
Will I need 100hours to recover from tar 100GB?

What can be the problem?  What I can do to speedup the recovery?

I am running Debian etch on servers with openafs 1.4.2-6.  Now I have
only one fileserver with a RAID5 with 7 disks of 700GB using
reiserfsck and 3 small fileservers. =20
