We have disks mounted as zfs 'bud' X4500 pool volumes that are used for incremental backups. They are of course visible using the GUI under Devices. There are 170 volumes or partitions across the allocated disk arrays.

The thing is the backup server doesn't mount all the bud volumes all the time - for example after running /etc/init.d/networker start not all the bud volumes get mounted automatically. This means that restores with savesets on unmounted bud volumes hang until the required volumes are manually mounted.

Is there a configuration option to 'force' networker to mount all available volumes in a specified pool? In this case the pool of bud disk volumes.

Thanks

Paul
