Were the hangs more than an hour long? When time is acting badly on a machine, *very* strange things happen. We see this all the time on our automated-testing machines, which run on VMWare and thus have clocks that sometimes run backward or forward very quickly. Just about any Amanda test that includes a timeout fails periodically on these systems, sometimes spectacularly. Dustin -- Open Source Storage Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
