First off, play with the columnspec parameter in amanda.conf to make the emails actually readable.

Note that sda5 is the majority of your space, but has the slowest dump rate -- very slow, in fact. Look into that. SCSI bus contention? Bad drive? Anything in the system logs? How fast can you 'tar c > /dev/null' that drive? -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
