Yah, the plot is a very helpful tool. You can get it to work harder if you can enlarge the work area or add an additional work area.
Also you might want to check your chunk size, tendency, at least when I started out, was for many smaller files, I increased the size of the chunks in the holding area and believe it help to improve performance as there were few files and fewer file creates/accesses/deletes later on.

It looks like my holding disk maxes out.

Do not open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails. This seems to work: amplot /var/backups/campus/log/amdump.1 Running under the amanda user. However, the issue now is the attempt to write the output to the X11 terminal: gnuplot: unable to open display '' gnuplot: X11 aborted. Not sure what all that's about. So I'm doing a bit of hacking on the gnuplot script to have it write the results out to a png file.
