That's going to be true no matter what. Any time software comes in
contact with reality (hardware), bad things happen :-).

DLT7000 and I use hardware compression.

Yes. If two Amanda servers try to contact a single client at the same
time, only one will make it in and the other will fail. My patch allows
you to have multiple amandad inetd/xinetd entries on a client and tell
the server which one to talk to (basically a run time change to the
hard coded default 10080 port number).

I think you mean you're running three amdump's (not amandad's) on that
machine.

But each client is only in one disklist, right? The change I'm talking
about allows a client to be in multiple disklists at the same time.
