All,

I am having a little problem here backing up a nfs volume.
This machine attached on the network (192.168.1.0) and its basically
a firewall. It has "absolutly nothing" on it (barest minimum)
and I do not want to install amanda client on it (if possible).
I have another reason, as the OS on that firewall is oldish I want to 
upgrade it: wipe it and install fresh. I dont want to go to install 
amanda again.

There is no "iptable" restriction between those two machines.

The network load (cause of the small size) is small, so no reasons
really to make it complicated on that client and use amanda clients.

So I nfs-mounted it to back it up. The exports are done no-root-squash
and the complete machine is mounted like this (for each root based dir).

   mount -v -t nfs 192.168.1.2:/bin /peterson/bin
   and so on....
   mount -v -t nfs 192.168.1.2:/var /peterson/var

The base dir is:

   drwxrwx---   13 amanda   disk         4096 Jun 21 19:00 peterson

When I do:

   [107] [piquet:root] ~ #ROOT# >su - amanda
   [amanda@piquet amanda]$ cd /peterson/etc
   [amanda@piquet etc]$ ls
   adjtime         crontab            group
   and so on .................

I can see all dirs, but there is nothing on the tape:

How come?

PS: In case somebody wonders what "piquet" and "peterson" stand for, yes
    its correct. All my machines are named after "good" F1 drivers.
