The hub is a "Accton CheetaHub Xpower-3024C".
I have little problems with the non-Amanda single threaded dump based
Backup. (Ok there were sporadic Problems with rmt, so I switched the
bulk transfer to rsh.)
For the amanda case, there were a lot of collisions on the hub.
/var/log/messages had a lot of lines like this:
"kernel: eth0: command 0x3002 took 17670 usecs! Please tell [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
He said this would be a lot of collisions.
I have changed ``inparallel'' from 4 to 2.
One Backup went well.
Is there a way to group hosts to the different ethernet interfaces
(like partitions to disks), so I can configure amanda like this:
do up to 4 backup clients in parallel,
but only up to two (or one) on each ethernet interface.
Currently I am using only one of 5 ethernet interfaces, put I plan to
use one for each subnet.

Andreas
