Hi, Why do you want to nfs-mount these dirs to the amanda server? It is much better to install the amanda-client part on all these machines and tell amanda to get the backups direct from these hosts. This way you can let them do compression localy, saving time, bandwith and cpu-power on your amanda-server. Christoph

Hi list,
I've got some problem related with amanda backup. We've got several boxes
around here. On ervery box we have 1-3 15-20 GB homes, currently
mounted on /home/$host/[0-2]. Backupping these isn't that problem, but
automounting them is such one.
I'm using kernel 2.4.18-14 (standard redhat 8.0) with autofs. exporting
the dirs via nfs isn't that problem since there exists the nohide option
for nfs filesystems and so the local homes are mounted on
/export/$host/[0-2] and mounted explicitly via nfs on /export/home. These dir is exported to all the other hosts including localhost. Writing
to /export/home is very slow because of the nfsd working (a Factor of two
even on an Athlon XP 2000+ with fast WD IDE discs) mounting /export/$host
via automount directly only does an -o bind mount which doesn't include
the contents of the [0-2] subdirs.
Does anyone know some workaround to convince the mounter to include the
subdirs' contents ?
Thanks in advance
Michael Mayer
