Hi,

Thanks for your help, Stephano !

Seems that the solution was to add no_root_squash option in /etc/exports on the station. I also added the sync option. I followed this tuto.

Before that, anything created in /var/affadevice had (seen from SME) the nfsnobody:nfsnogroup owner, and chown was impossible (operation not permitted).

After, a new file or directory has root:root owner  :-)

Now, I'll see what will happen with affa. SHould I do something to the already created archives, or just let affa do and replace them when it will be time (I have one scheduled and one daily archive) ?

Hi,

Now, affa runs for 25 minutes, and stops with an error. Here is a part of the log :

--- Code: ---Sun Jul 21 20:30:07[21999]: Running rsync...

--- End code ---

Looks like a problem with the connection, but
- When I make other tests, the SME and the station communicate very well,
- Affa was not stopping on an error before I made the change in /etc/exports, and nothing else changed in the network
- Affa stops always at the same time, 25 mn after the begining

Did I do something wrong or missed something ? What can I do to solve that ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I tried to add also the no_subtree_check option in /etc/exports, but the result is the same... The timeout occurs after a variable time, between 20 to 65 minutes, and seems not to depend on what is to be backed up.

Any idea on how I could solve that, or at least what I could do or try to locate the origin of the problem ?

Thanks.

I don't think you can create hard links on an NFS share
