I had this same problem, particularly with the RPMs that come with 7.1. The
solution is either to apply the advfs.patch from
http://www.amanda.org/patches.html, or alternatively, use CVS and get the
latest greatest. Seems to fix many things, this one of them...
HTH,
Sean Noonan.

Subject: RE: Data Timeouts
I am also having the same problem, but it is spread across all of my
machines. It does appear to be concentrated on the larger partition, but not
always. I am using dump universally on all machines, and have compiled
versions installed on all clients except for the two 7.1 machines where I
used the RPM distribution from the RedHat CD. It appeared identical except
that it puts all the programs in /usr/lib/amanda rather than
/usr/local/libexec.
I am new to using Amanda so some of this could be my setup, but I don't
think so. Two of my machines are running RedHat 7.1 which I would assume
would have the latest version of dump on them and they are the ones that are
dropping out the worst. I am attaching the latest run report for the amdump
I did last night. When you go back and look at the /tmp/amanda directories,
you find that a sendback was not even started for any of the partitions that
failed on any of the clients. You can see where amandad on each machine
thought it was starting one though. Where else do I need to look to
determine why they did not start?
I keep seeing recommendations to use GNUTar rather than the native dump
programs. Can somebody give a quick pluses and minuses of going either way.
It seems to me that (if it works) using dump is more flexible from the
restore perspective and would be one less thing that I would have to put on
my Sun systems if I had to restore. The GNUTar seems more flexible in regard
to partitions and tape sizes, but harder to restore from (without indexes).
Attached below are the email report from last nights run. I can also send
out any of the debug reports that anybody needs to help me debug this, but
there are a lot of them, so would suggest that somebody tell me which ones
they would like to see before I do that. Any pointers that anybody can give
me would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Neither of you mentioned whether you are using dump or tar. ISTR that
certain versions of dump had issues with looping, and I've had sporadic
timeouts with dump as well. You could try either:
Upgrading dump/restore to the latest version (they're maintained at
sourceforge, these das), or
Switch to using tar and see if that helps.
Good luck.
