Looks like the estimate has timed out after a 1/2 hour. I do not know why
estimation takes so long. What is more interesting: after amdump has
finished there is still a gtar process running:

load averages:  0.91,  0.90,  0.90
20:48:53
58 processes:  55 sleeping, 1 zombie, 2 on cpu
CPU states:     % idle,     % user,     % kernel,     % iowait,     % swap

Here are the results of the test run:
