I have no ideas, but I can confirm that I'm seeing the same behavior. I
can minimize it by increasing the timeout value to 7200, but I still see
about two dump failures a week from timeout (always the largest
dumps--but not even close to tape capacity). I can elimate as describe
by the original poster (but it only works the first time :( ) on the one
dump that fails.
I'm using FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE on an AMD Duron 1300 with an AIWA NS-20
tape drive and Amanda 2.4.3b2.
