The only thing that pops to mind is a SCSI problem. Is your holding
disk on the same bus as the drives? That would be the main difference
between amdump and amflush -- during amdump one or more processes are
writing into the holding disk at the same time taper is dragging stuff
out and writing it to tape. A lot more disk and controller activity.
Check the cable. Check the termination. Move the devices (if possible)
to other buses.
