So, you guys may recall I was having problems with amcheck and amdump
taking ridiculously long. Well, it turns out that because on that client
box, there was a dead Samba mount. As you guys know, when there's a
Samba mount that's timed out, or the remote machine is unavailable, any
operation checking mounted partitions takes forever and eventually times
out.
So... what in Amanda is checking mounted partitions on every operation,
and can we limit to only the partitions we're actually backing up? :)
That's probably gnutar itself. Gnutar runs with --one-filesystem
option, but to be able to see when partitions are crossed, gnutar needs
to do a check. Yes, and that can hang.
Do you really need smbmounts? Apparently not, because days can pass
without anyone noticing the dead mount... :-)
