This bit me when NFS was unavailable at the beginning of the backup, causing it to hang. Then when it became available, the backup continued, but backed up the NFS mount as if it was local to the parent file system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13518440.post-28521557000342540582012-08-09T15:09:12.976-07:002012-08-09T15:09:12.976-07:00Yeah they hard mounted the file systems.

With hardmounted...Are your NFS mounts hardmounted? With hardmounted NFS filesystems in which the filesystem becomes unavailable, the client will continue to try to connect until the filesystem is once again available. The would explain why df hangs as well as the backups. With softmounted NFS filesystems, an error will be returned and the client continues. With AIX, the default is hardmounted. Whenever I create an NFS filesystem in AIX I always change this to softmount unless I have a compelling reason to leave it hardmounted.Dave Coxnoreply@blogger.com
