We have a strange problem with throughput to the backup server. The
backup-server is foo1 and the fileserver is foo3. Both servers have a 100Mb
NIC and connected to the same switch.

I can copy a 25Mb file from the /usr/share/admin/felles/infoavd share in 3
seconds to my computer, so the throughput from the fileserver should be ok.
But as you can see amanda finished that copy (4Gb) 17 hours after the
backup started.

Both servers run amanda 2.4.2p2-1.

Some parameters from amanda.conf:

netusage  100000 Kbps
# Disk is 40Gb
holdingdisk hd1 {
    directory "/u05/amanda/dumps"
    comment "main holding disk"
    use -10 Mb
    chunksize 2000 Mb
}

define tapetype SLR100 {
        comment "Tandberg SLR100 tape drives"
        length 50000 mbytes
        filemark 8 kbytes
        speed 1650 kps
}

define dumptype user-tar {
    root-tar
    comment "user partitions dumped with tar"
    priority medium
}

define interface local {
    comment "a local disk"
    use 100000 kbps
}

define interface eth0 {
    comment "100 Mbps ethernet"
    use 40000 kbps
}

Here is a output of the backup running now: (Ignore the problem with
/usr/share/admin/data)
