amdump -o tapetype=mytapetype or maybe you mean amdump -o tapetype:LTO4:blocksize=2048 > Is there some kind of config command to check a configuration status? Not sure what you mean, beyond what amcheck does. If you want to see, for absolutely sure, what blocksize it's using, make up a fairly small backup set (trim your disklist temporarily) and run amdump under 'strace -f -e write amdump 2>/tmp/trace' or the equivalent for your operating system. You should see a bunch of write commands in /tmp/trace, and the size of the writes are the blocksize Amanda is using. There could be lots of other things slowing Amanda down. Are you doing software compression? Are you using a holding disk? Dustin -- Storage Software Engineer http://www.zmanda.com
