Check your balance:
$ amadmin DS1 balance

If you see way out of balance (what is way out? +100% or +200%?)
then it is probably due to single file systems that are v. large.
Use amadmin <config> due to see which ones are large and consider
spliting them up into multiple disklist entries. Note, this
approach only works with tar, not dump.
