Hi there,
This is more of a general question about the use of NFS as opposed to a
specific Tru64 issue.
I am in the process of setting up a monitoring product called mrtg, which I
am sure some of you
are aware of, I have configured the software such that all the output is
being dumped to a NFS
mounted drive. That way I can access the databases from a different system
(running apache) for reporting purposes.
I have two mrtg daemons running, one every minute, and one every 5 minutes.
One thing I noticed in one of the directories is a file called : .nfsXXXX
This appears to be some kind of a lock file.
The question I have is :
1. Is it okay to dump data continously to a NFS drive.
2. By having a lock (I am assuming that is what .nfsXXXX) on the NFS drive,
will this cause problems for other systems
Thank You
Darren
