DVS Systems
We have experience of DVS Systems slowing down rendering due to additional metadata traffic.
We would advise users to set the following options in general.prefs
You can expect a small to moderate increase of rendering speed and reduction in metadata traffic over networks.
Set maxPreallocation to 0
caches { fragmentationTest { activeV2 false level 1 } maxPreallocation 0 paintAutoCleanUpHours 5 testTimeInterval 600 }
SAN Based Caches
Please note that this setting should only be used on SAN systems running the DVS Stornext File System
You can also disable 'chunking' of data
asyncWrite { enable false chunkMB 30 }
Chunk Data
Data Chunking is the process of breaking up large files into seperate blocks of data to be transferred. This can be a benefit to some systems that have low hard-drive buffers
