It looks like when the Amanda process is running on the server and doing the Dump phase, it hangs during when the snapshot is being created (mksnap_ffs) for about 20 mins. The box is pingable, but most services stop responding during that time. Then after that 20 mins or so, it clears up and the dump continues on and finishes successfully. I have 9 servers that are backed up with Amanda, and this is the only one giving me this issue. It is the only one running FreeBSD 9.1 as well as the only one with one partition instead of separate partitions for the various directories (/usr, /var /home etc).
