So - it looks like I need to reboot my client before I can get a backup from
it again, which is a little harsh.
I was wondering whether anyone knows why Amanda client 2.4.4 would get wedged
like that, is there something I can do to minimize the problem? Also, if
anyone has ideas about avoiding the estimate issues all together, I would
appreciate any advice.
Look in /tmp/amanda on the clients for the *debug files relating to the
hung processes. They should have more details on what went wrong. Also,
the alternate estimate methods went in before 2.5 -- I'm running 2.4.5p1
and 'man amanda.conf' says "estimate client|calcsize|server".
