Does this tell anyone anything?
It means the processes are still alive.
Just a wild guess... Maybe you have specified a manual changer, and
Amanda is just waiting for you to manually insert the next tape?
Now find out what they are doing, and why it takes days to proceed.
As root or amanda you can trace a process and see if it does somehting
else, or is just sleeping on some event that will not happen:
strace -p pid-of-the-process
There are two taper processes, one reads from the holdingdisk file
into a shared memory region, while the other one writes the bytes
from shared memory to tape. When there is no holdingdisk file, then
maybe the reader-taper is reading from a network socket?
And maybe you specified a long dtimeout?
