Hi

I am having a sporadic problem with sendbackup. Sometimes the process 
fails to ever terminate! On those days, the backup of the disk being 
dumped gives a failure timeout message. The timeout failure on a drive 
is fine occasionally but why would the processes hang around and not 
exit? What causes them to hang like this? I have larger drives that dump 
level 0's fine. The processes hang on my amanda server running RedHat 
7.1.

For instance...

Processes:

amanda   20216  0.0  0.0  1864    0 ?        SW   Jun05   0:00 dump 0usf 
1048576 - /dev/sda6
amanda   20219  0.0 3346.6 1880 4294967292 ? S    Jun05   0:05 dump 0usf 
1048576 - /dev/sda6
amanda   20220  0.0  0.0  1864    0 ?        SW   Jun05   0:09 dump 0usf

amanda   20221  0.0  0.0  1864    0 ?        SW   Jun05   0:08 dump 0usf

1048576 - /dev/sda6

and again
