If you mean you have been running a single instance of amtapetype
for 3 days, abort it right now.  The results will be unreliable.
Amtapetype is not fast by anymeans, but it should not take longer
than approximately 3X the time it takes to write a full tape at
maximum interface speed.  Typically that might be 4 - 10 hrs total.

If your run is going much longer I'd guess you did not use the
"estimated length" option on your command line.
