Paul,
Thanks - I think you hit it right on the head.
inparallel is set to 4 but maxdumps isn't present in the amanda.conf file.
[ I'd have set it if I'd seen it which is why I usually include
parameters even when they are set to default values, so I don't
forget them. ]
I'll insert that, even setting to 2 should be enough.
If I recall spindle numbers properly, the default ignores
the option. So if my disklist file doesn't have a 4th parameter
it 'should' be a non-issue. Correct ?
I'll add "maxdumps 2" and see what happens overnight.
thanks,
Brian
