with a dtimeout of 1800 ( seconds, or 30 min ) the 'sendbackup' of /mnt/hdg3 fails with a data timeout. The Client side gets a:

If its the tar'd data, then there is a potential problem. Some of the files are in the gigabyte range. Although at 100mbps ethernet can take some min, but taping it out at 1.5MBps may take a lot longer that 30min to get another 'index' name, or even a buffer of names. Is this where the 'data timeout' is happening ? /gat
