I've changed common-src/protocol.c to: #define ACK_WAIT 100 /* time (secs) to wait for ACK - keep short */ #define ACK_TRIES 10 /* num retries after ACK_WAIT timeout */ and still no joy. I logged in last night and found 12 gtar processes running on ambiance with the load average around 15! Such strange behavior, I have inparallel set to 6 in my amanda.conf, could this have something to do with it? Steve -- Steven J.
