Per,
increase the time-out values in your amanda.conf. Tar takes much longer to get an estimate to the scheduler that dump. I had to set my etimeout to 7200 and dtimeout to 10000. This may be too much for your filesystems but keep doubling it until it works.
hope this helps,

Upgrade your 6.2 boxes gnutar to at least 1.13-19?
1.13-25 is the latest, on alpha.gnu.org.


Thanks everybody for your tips. However, I still get the error (or absence of error) above after upgrading to 1.13.25. Is there a way to increase the verbosity of the debug files to find out what is going on? Or can I use sendsize manually on the client? I'm stuck at the moment.

Thanks,
Per olof
