Suspected Block Size 8m limit, Help with larget transfer sizes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



To any applicable persons,

My attempts to use block sizes above 8m lead to threads not working properly. I did not notice anything in the documentation stating if there was a limit at 8m. Is this a bug or an intended limit? Has anyone experienced these issues as well? Any work around or fixes?

My workloads and results.

^^ Note no data is being transferred on each thread and the eta is being calculated wrong. Then some threads are reaped when the time adjusts itself.


Thank you for your help,
