Moin (good morning),

in 'amstatus.pl.in' from the CVS 1.56 there is handling for _chunkerN_
(besides dumperN and taper).

What might that be? Possibly a dumper splitting large dumps, to be
distributed over more than one tape?

It's the process in amanda 2.5.0 that write to the holding disk.

Thanks Jean-Louis, is it just a rename, or is there more concept
behind?

regards
Georg
