1199840 is a strange number (as in, not a power of 2). Could you live

All clients are processed in parallel, i.e. estimate requests are sent
to all the clients at the same time. To increase the number of requests
processed in parallel on a given client, raise "max

What version of Amanda?
First, don't use "localhost" in your disklist. It will bite you
eventually. Use the fully qualified host name.
Next, look at /tmp/amanda/sendsize*debug. That's likely where the
problem will show up.

On the SGI the non variable block size device is fixed at 8K. I can actually
change the tape drive block size to anything I want but the SGI limits you
to 8K.

You're right! In amanda.conf was set to use gnutar instead of dump, the

You are of course absolutely right. I guess I need a new pair of

That's going to be true no matter what. Any time software comes in

Hi,
I am using amanda2.4.2p1 version on a linux machine.. when I tried to

out ...to figure out the pblm..?
The index server is also a Linux machine.. I have checked all the config
parameters in /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/
Does "netusage" actually do anything with regard to the amount of
bandwidth amanda uses? I have mine set way down at 50 Kbps, and I'm seeing
it pull up to 6 Mbps at a time, regardless of what I set it to.
Does amanda actually shape its bandwidth usage, or is 'netusage' just for
estimates?
