Right. Note that you did estimates of 11 separate disks, and the default
etimeout is 5 minutes per disk, which is 55 minutes, hence the timeout
errors. You need to crank that way up, or it might indicate there is
a problem with that client (bad disk, etc) that needs to be investiaged.

I'm not clear. Are you saying the error was obvious and you fixed it,
or that the file contained a bunch of "sendsize: running" lines (which
would be very bad)?
>how many times should it be doing the estimations?
Planner will ask for a level 0 estimate of everything in your disklist,
and then it will ask for the same level it ran last time and then it
may also ask for the next level.
