Thanks for the suggestions Thierry...
No Storage Node involved here, except the Networker server itself that
IS also the only SN (Dell PV-136T w/5 LTO2 drives).
It finally timed out after 30 minutes and cleared the request .... I
found the nsrmmd settings listed in the /Set Up Server/Media Manager
tab. They are currently set to:
Nsrmmd polling interval: 3
Nsrmmd restart interval: 2
Nsrmmd control timeout: 5
I will keep them as is, and maybe make changes if this happens again...
Or go looking for the nsrmmd process that was started @ the time the
requests began and kill it (sometimes it's fun to 'kill' processes, just
because you can...)
