In some previous mail (which I didn't safe) you mentioned you are also
running iptables?  Is this client and/or server or something in between
running iptables or other firewall software?  Does the client/server
has more than one network interface?

amandad: time 0.001: amandahosts security check passed
amandad: time 0.001: running service "/usr/local/amanda/libexec/sendsize"
amandad: time 15947.608: sending REP packet:

Phew! Does the estimate phase take really almost 16000 seconds?
Is that number any magic somewhere, I mean did you specify some
parameter to 16000? (in the amanda.conf or in the firewall?)

So it seems that the client tries to send the perfectly formatted
respons with all estimates to the server, but that the server

In the sendsize log, I see

I see that it took almost 16000 seconds to estimate the first few
disks (which did not include in the output) while it took
less than half a minute to estimate the /data3 and /usr/local.
Very strange.
What filesystem is taking so long?

The runtar log is

runtar: debug 1 pid 3005 ruid 34 euid 0: start at Thu Aug 21 19:45:13 2003

/bin/tar: version 2.4.4p1

ize._data3.20030821194513.exclude .

Again this is only the one from /data3.  I'm curious to see
the one that takes about 4 hours.  /home or /data[12] I mean.
