Hello, I have a backup server that do backup of several remote machines using rsnapshot every 6 hours. Basically it takes snapshot of the remote machines and put it in hourly.0, hourly.1,hourly.2, hourly.3, and rotate the backup everyday. >From the backup server I exported the hourly.2 directory, and mount using NFS from, say, my workstation. When rsnapshot run, it basically does; 1. rm hourly.3 2. mv hourly.2 to hourly.3 3. mv hourly.1 to hourly.2 4. cp hourly.0 to hourly.1 5. rsync hourly.0 with the most current snapshot. After every snapshot run, when I try to access the NFS mounted directory from my workstation, I think I actually see the moved directory, that is I see hourly.3 instead of hourly.2 (because of step 2 above). If I unmount then try to mount again, I'd get 'permission denied'. The only way I can fix it is to restart nfs service from the backup server, then try mounting again. Is there a better way to do this? Of cource I can just put all those as cron jobs, but if there's a way to keep my NFS mounted directory to sync with the new hourly.2 after rsnapshot run, that'd be great. Thanks for any help.
