Aha! Since the error came from planner, it looks as if the etimeout value set in your amanda.conf might be too small. As /dev/md0 is a software raid, its probably pretty big, and the estimate phase is going to take extra time. I know of one such 360 gig setup, and its not particularly fast, only makeing about 30Mb a second in an hdparm test. I'd expect it would take at least 45 minutes to get an estimate back from that one. Heres a grep for mine, where the raid is not involved: etimeout 600 # number of seconds per filesystem for estimates. dtimeout 1800 # number of idle seconds before a dump is aborted. ctimeout 5 # maximum number of seconds that amcheck waits which translates to 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and 5 seconds. One of my clients is a dog by todays standards.
