| |
We do regular backups each night having all boxes NFS mounted on a central server equipped with a tape drive. Every Tuesday night the box rebooted since we switched to 2.2.X. I finally ran the backup for that special machine manually.
Backup ran normally for awhile until it got to the /dev directory. Then there was an endless scroll of barely readable NFS error messages on the console.
Something about "NFS client: inode locked/unavailable" and "retrying". This went on for awhile until some system resources were exhausted and the watchdog daemon took the machine down.
I could not find any messages at all in the system logs.
Any hints on how to proceed with that one? Backing up other linux boxes via NFS works just fine.
