Unfortunately, I am out of IDE ports on the motherboard, and have no
remaining open expansion slots either. Might try a USB drive, but I'd much
rather find a software solution rather than a hardware one.

Is adding another disk completely out of the question? I have just
commissioned a new amanda server with an LTO-3 drive (60MB/s writing
speed)

That is correct. That disk is only used by amanda.

I am NOT peaking at 10MB/sec from the amdump report, the 10MB/sec figure is
from several amtapetest runs, as well as my own manual testing with dd.
I KNOW the tape is shoe-shining, both because I can HEAR it consistently
having to reposition the tape every few seconds, and because I'm only

Unfortunately, eliminating (or drastically reducing) the holding disk
workaround won't solve the problem in my case, since several of my larger
dumps are from nonlocal disks, and the machines they are on cannot sustain a
write across the network that is fast enough to keep the tape drive

The holding disk is a dedicated PATA IDE drive (master) on its own cable/bus
(no slave). The tape drive is on its own SCSI bus (no other devices).
Bonnie tests on the IDE drive give roughly 20MB/sec, and I have no trou
Evan,
What OS, type of tape, type of drive, HW platform ?
I'm unfamiliar with a parameter to do what your asking
for for good measure, what version of Amanda ?
Actually, how did you determine that a drive within a changer
was shoe-shining ? What else shares the bus with the tape and
with the am
I'm having a problem with my tape drive shoe-shining because the holding
disk can't keep up with the tape drive if it is also being written to by a
dumper. Without the extra disk seek overhead of dumpers writing to the
holding disk at the same time, the holding disk should be plenty fast enou
