I want to create virtual taps on an nfs mounted disk. The tricky part is
that the disk I'm mounting belongs to another department and they are
not going to want to create a user for me to use to write to the disk.
I mount the disk like this:
mount -t nfs nfs1.example.com:/bigdisk /bigdisk
If I create a directory on /bigdisk, it is owned by nobody:root.
# mkdir /bigdisk/vtapes/DailySet1/slot01
# ls -l /bigdisk/vtapes/DailySet1/
total 2
drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody root 0 Oct 1 14:49 slot01
Any suggestions as to how to make it possible for the amanda user to
write to these virtual tapes? Can I run amanda as nobody? Is there some
other trick I can use?
