Does this look familiar at all? The strace of "amflush BBPTape" at one point
just becomes an endless (literally. I think it cycles endlessly, but I can't info the

Can you print a little more so I can see what repeat, do the number
(17120) increase?
You have a lot of file in the holding disk, you should use a larger
chunksize.
Lot of files == slow, slower, ...

Thanks. This issue is driving me mad, and the point is fast approaching where
my boss just nixes amanda. (not its fault, really, I'm just bad at this)
Cheers

Not creating the debug files is strange as it is one of the first thing it do.
Use strace or a debugger (gdb) to find where it hang.

Hi. still slowly trying to get my backup system to work, it's going OK but for
some reason, whenever I get some dumps stuck in holding, I can't get those to
tape at all. amflush just seems to hang immediately after I run it. amflush -fs
also gives me exactly nothing to work with. Nothing in any logs anywhere that I
can see.
Similarly, amadmin holding list hangs in exactly the same way.
I'm definitely not good enough yet to debug this by myself, can anyone help?
with no logs or error messages or whatever I wouldn't even know where to start.
Cheers
