send req failed: Message too long

Hi,

I recently had this kind of problem with my amanda server. It has tobackup around 120 samba clients :


GETTING ESTIMATES...

planner: time 0.371: dgram_send_addr: sendto(192.168.10.66.10080)failed: Message too long

send req failed: Message too long

I read a bit of information on the yahoo archive, and found this problemhad been worked around with the ctimeout variable. (I guess ? I'm notsure I understood everything).

So I increased this timeout, and this morning, all my samba clients wentfine. Cool.


Now, as I'm still testing, I want to relaunch an amanda dump.

I just launch exactly the same config, and this time, I get this bad old'message too long'.

Is there a standard solution ? I don't mind if my clients waste 5minutes to answer, but I want to be sure my backups are done.


Should I increase the ctimeout ?

Or is there a way to ask the estimates in a sequential way, in order toavoid too long messages for inetd ?
