I'd like to get an idea of how long people's condense&discard processing
takes each night.

We run a minidisk-only shop here since SFS isn't fully supported under our
current security scheme yet.

Just for grins we added a bunch of users (14,000) to a shared file system
and put some junk in some directories.  I tried a backup of the whole
thing and it got done pretty fast.  To make sure the tapes weren't tied
up for a while I set a 1 day retention period for them.

At 12:30am the next morning I get a phone call from our operations because
the job they submitted right after midnight hadn't started yet.  I took
a look and at 1:00am VMB was STILL doing its AUTOCAT processing.

I END (FORCEd vmb and restarted it and the job took off without doing a
condense and discard- The next night the same thing happened so I said to
let it run until 2am, if it hasn't started by then, end force it and
autolog it again.

The next night (there were 3 days worth of condenses built up) we didn't
run backups (weekend) so the autocat went through and took until around
2:30 to finish.

Has anyone else had major problems with autocat taking so long?  I have
a call in to SCI but nothing yet.

This is with VMBACKUP 5.3C
