So, to clarify, you are: a) NFS exporting partitions from B b) Mounting them on A c) Adding them to the disklist as "A /mnt/nfsFromB" Is that correct? If so, that's not the way to do it. > Only the nfs partitions fails. Other backups works fine. > One of two things is going on: 1) You're using dump as your backup program, and it doesn't understand NFS (only ext2), so it's choking and dying. 2) You're using tar as your backup program, but you didn't set "no_root_squash" in your NFS export options from B, so tar can't see the stuff in B. As mentioned above, though, this is not the way you should be doing this. Is there any reason you can't install amanda on B and just back it up as a client? That's how amanda is designed to be used. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
