You should add a spindle for dle on the same physical disk, it can be

I don't understand this statement. Could you clarify please?
man amanda
search for spindle
All DLE of a physical disk should have the same spindle (>0).
It's generally faster to run them sequentially instead of in parallel,
just think about head movement.
A solution could be to add an 'etimeout' in amanda-client.conf,
amandad could use it instead of REP_TIMEOUT.
Maybe the server could send it's own timeout to amandad.
Are you suggesting this is currently possible, or that it might be a
good solution for the future? I saw in amandad.c there are comments
mentioning that REP_TIMEOUT and ACK_TIMEOUT should be configurable.
I think that's a good future direction :)
for future.
