Have only *heard* that Linux (RHEL 5 to be specific w/ autofs ver. 5) has 
addressed how automounter behaves with regard to backing up NFS shares...in 
RHEL 4 (autofs ver. 4), I have seen it behave inconsistently...could be we are 
overloading our Linux media servers, but Solaris (9, specifically) never has a 
problem.

I have seen our Linux media servers choke on NFS restores as well, where 
directing them through our Solaris 9 master server as the restore client for 
the same NFS restore works like a champ.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Linux Master Server

Does anyone have a reason *not* to use NetBackup on Linux as a
master/media server?  I've heard that Linux makes a great media
server, but how about a master?

My options are Solaris/SPARC and Linux/x86_64 and I was wondering if
anyone had found a concrete reason why Linux was inferior.

Thanks,
Austin
