Under NFS clients on our DD670’s we noticed that
/backup/ost was shared out to * and as we’re trying to eliminate shares
that are wide open (and we were under the misconception that OST was it’s
own protocol unassociated with NFS) we deleted the share. BOOM !!... all backups
to OST storage units instantly start to fail.
DO NOT REMOVE THIS NFS SHARE !!
If you do, don’t try and use the admin guide to re-add
it because they have the syntax printed incorrectly. In order to get it
back in with the correct permissions do the following…
nfs add /backup/ost (insecure)
Hope this saves someone the 2 hours we just wasted trying to
work out the mess we’d caused ourselves !!
