Can someone tell me exactly what dtimeout in amanda.conf really is?
The amanda(8) man page says:
"Amount of idle time per
disk on a given client that a dumper running from
within amdump will wait before it fails with a data
timeout error."
The docs directory has nothing further. I'm wondering what is
meant by "idle time". Is this "maximum wall clock time dumper will
allow for a dump to finish"? Or does idle really mean idle and it's
more like "amount of time dumper will wait without having received any
new data from sendbackup"?
I have a largeish dump that's getting the [data timeout] error, but
it's not stalling. It appears it's just not being allowed to finish.
If dtimeout has the former meaning then increasing it should solve
this. If it has the latter meaning then I need to look elsewhere.
