Amanda Users List:

I've been getting the following error consistently on this client/disk
despite my best efforts to solve it. I've changed the timeout values on
the server, removed extra files from the file system and double checked
permissions and port numbers. The /var filesystem on this same client
backs up fine using the same configuration.

I'm guessing that the timeout is caused by the failure of tar to write
to the broken pipe, but the logs don't give me much to go on. I've
scoured every lat resource I can find and still get these results. I'd
be happy to send logs to anyone who would care to help me out with
this.

Thanks,
John Grover
