Hi DU-admins
We have a cluster of alphas running DU 3.2c. Only one of these
has a tape drive so we use rdump to backup the others.
We would like to disable r commands for security reasons so I
thought of NFS mounting the /dev directory from the machine with
the tape drive onto the others.
I added this line to /etc/exports on the machine with the tape (kelvin):
/dev -root=0,dev cluster
Then on one of the other machines I did:
mount -t nfs -o dev kelvin:/dev /mnt
This didn't work. When I do `file /dev/rmt0a` on kelvin I get
/dev/rmt0a: character special (9/21510) SCSI #1 TLZ06 tape #104 (SCSI
ID #5) offline
But when I do `file /mnt/rmt0a` on the client I just get:
/mnt/rmt0a: character special (9/21510)
And when I do `mt -f /mnt/rmt0a stat` on the client I get:
/mnt/rmt0a: No such device or address
Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do? If so how?
Thanks
Ian
