 What is maxdumps set to in either the global section of amanda.conf or

My bad. 

I was only looking at inparallel. maxdumps is running as
default 1, so I've fixed that to  6.  I bet that will fix the
next dump.

multiple spindles on single host?

[Chris Beggy]

My amanda clients don't seem to want to run concurrently on
different spindles on the same machine.  The spindles are
numbered distinctly in disklist in the configuration.  Is there
something I need to change in the amanda.conf, or am I stuck?

Thanks.

 on gnu/linux glibc.  I am dumping about 24 partitions, 12G total,

 Wow!  Mine are no bigger than ~200K, running 2.4.2p2 and dumping about 45 
 partitions at 50G total.


 Glad to hear that!  There's hope for my situation.


I wiped out the entire curindex info directories, crossed my
fingers, and started backing up from scratch.  The files are
indeed no larger than 250K.

Thanks for the help everyone.
