This issue was caused by a very active sendmail /var/spool/mqueue directory interfering with "ufsdump". After changing the backup type over to gnu-tar, the problem went away.

I have an intermittent problem with two Sun amanda clients where the client machine mysteriously hangs at the precise time the amanda backups start. This is happening on two entirely different Sun architectures, with the following uname -a:

SunOS relay-2 5.8 Generic_108528-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine
SunOS service 5.8 Generic_108528-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

The client machines will respond to pings, but the box needs to be power cycled in order to be functional again when it happens. The amanda client version on both boxes is the same, namely 2.4.2, and the server is running 2.4.2p2. Unfortunately, I don't have client side debug output, and the server side debug output is not useful:

amtrmidx.20020615032113.debug:service.wn.net /
amtrmidx.20020615032113.debug:service.wn.net /usr
amtrmidx.20020615032113.debug:service.wn.net /var
amtrmidx.20020615032113.debug:service.wn.net /opt
amtrmidx.20020615032113.debug:service.wn.net /var/mail
amtrmidx.20020615032113.debug:service.wn.net /export/home
amtrmidx.20020615032113.debug:service.wn.net /usr/local/apache/users

Any help you could provide would be great. Thanks!
