Until it writes two tapes worth of data. You're at ~28GB there. Patience... ;) You don't mention which version of amanda you got tapetype from, but the one in 2.4.2p2 is *much* faster than the one in 2.4.1. Also make sure that you do *not* have hardware compression turned on for your drive. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
