I have amanda running on serveral servers and last night I tried
to back up one more to the tape server.  When I arrived this
morning, the backups were still running and the new server had
an extremely high load on it.  It's a RedHat Linux 9.0 server
and the load was over 520 (quad Xeon system).  There were about
1500 processes with "amanda" as the user, some are listed below:
        

Why is it running restore?  You said it was backing up, aka
amdump..

      

amanda    4030  4028  3 01:03 ?        00:17:00 /sbin/restore
-tvf - amanda    4031  4028  0 01:03 ?        00:01:47 sed -e
?s/^leaf[
        

I'd guess those are the index threads -- note that it's restore -t.
    

Odd indeed, Joshua.  Not anything I've ever seen here that I recall.  
I just put todays snapshot in, but I doubt Mike's install is that 
new.  I also wonder if its an rpm, and redhat's been 'adjusting' 
things again?  I don't recall what Mike said about version if he did. 
:(
