I now notice that my rdists between two 4.3-STABLE machines goes *extremely* slow, by two orders of magnitude! The 'top' command shows the receiving machine is blocking on "sbwait". Is your amanda process blocking on the same "sbwait" in the kernel by chance? I don't see this slow behavior when rdist-ing btween the 4.3-STABLE machine and my old 2.2.8 machine. -b > More to that... > > Yesterday I've got larged HDD, and used ``dump -0 -f- | restore -r -f-'' > to move the data (on yesterday's 4.3-STABLE). > > Is it normal that the speed was 170Kb/s, as reported by dump(8)? > > On Wed, Apr 25, 2001 at 07:28:39AM -0700, Nick Sayer wrote: > > Amanda has begun timing out one of my slower clients.
