Indeed there are. The problem is that locking over nfs cannot be done in a reliable way. > The rrd files are on a file server, and a processing server is connected > to this file server through nfs to get the rrd files to process. Let's give the two servers a name: A and B. What I think you said is: - on server A you have your RRD files - on server A you run "rrdtool update" - server B has mounted some of the disk of server A - on server B you run "rrdtool graph" and receive an error What probably works for you is to nfs mount the other way around; let server A access server B. Then you can start "rrdtool graph" on server A and still write the images directly to server B HTH -- __________________________________________________________________ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ | work private | | My employer is capable of speaking therefore I speak only for myself | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Technical questions sent directly to me will be nuked.
