I'll ask Paul's question slightly differently.
How can you WANT to run any slower (see below).

This was your biggest, and speediest successful taping.
It only ran at 4300 bytes/sec

Something is seriously wrong with your network connection to your vtape.
I strongly urge you to fix your network connection rather than continue
to try to get amanda (or any application) to work with a broken network.

You are absolutely right Jon, but I cannot tweak more the lufs.

I was thinking more of the hardware end of the setup.  There have been
frequent mentions of poor network performance when a switch and host
are not configured correctly.  Sometimes depending on the auto-config
feature of the switch or host does not give the best connection.

I have tested native ftp transfers to this host (beside lufs) which were at about 4.3 mb per sec ("ftp hostname" and then "put file ..") for several files differring significantly in their size. The rate did not fall below 4 megs per sec.

Just an interesting observation, amanda sees 4.3 kb/sec, you got 4.3 mb/sec
for ftp transfers.

No other way to access that remote disk than still beta lufs and ftp?

Greetings
