Hi all,
I'm at TU64 V5.0a PK3.
If I try and use vdump to dump a filesystem which
contains mount points on which are mounted NFS filesystems
whose server is down, vdump hangs. Is this to be expected?
The filesystems are mounted with the '-o hard' option.
Should I really be doing this in single-user mode?
I can work around this by 'umount -f' on the offending
filesystems (then I have to remember to re-mount them at
some later date) but why doesnt vdump recognise the mount-point
as such, and refrain from accessing what's mounted on it?
Cheers,
Terry.
