Greetings;

amanda, version 2.5.1b2-20060829, just did it again.

The whole firewall box failed, and there are still 16 copies of gtar 
running on that box, each consuming 5 to 8% of the cpu.

This is with those timeout numbers doubled from the thread of 2 weeks or so 
ago doubled.

I suspect it may have left a few of them running from yesterday because 
amanda has recently been underestimating the backup size, and then leaving 
as much as 1.3GB in the holding disk.  So I extended the dumpcycle and 
runspercycle by one day, but its still promoting level 0's from 3 days 
ahead too.

If you want to see the logs, I can supply those later today but its getting 
sleepy around here now. In the meantime I'm gonna kill those gtars and get 
my machine back.

Cheers, Gene
