  I have a Promise SmartStor, a network drive.  It's NFS mounted on
a Red Hat server.  Sometimes it gets backed up, other times I get:

  whimsy.med.utah.edu    /sstore/9gb  lev 0  FAILED [dumper returned FAILED]
  whimsy.med.utah.edu    /sstore/9gb  lev 0  FAILED [data timeout]
  whimsy.med.utah.edu    /sstore/9gb  lev 0  FAILED [cannot read header: got 0 
instead of 32768]
  whimsy.med.utah.edu    /sstore/9gb  lev 0  FAILED [too many dumper retry: 
"[request failed: timeout waiting for REP]"]

This file system is big and I've increased my timeouts to:

etimeout                100000
dtimeout                3600
ctimeout                60

but it didn't help.  I'm running amanda 2.5.2p1.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
  Steve
