Trying to setup a nas box for system backup, .. have not dealt much with<br>
nfs - is there any way to xet the permissions properly on files created in<br>
the mounted drive?<br>
<br>
For example, a file is created as nobody:nogroup, .. but a backup must<br>
perserve uid/gid & permissions for, say, home directories.<br>
<br>
I'd like to use rsnapshot to create a versioned backup, but it does not<br>
seem to be possible on a nfs drive?<br></blockquote><div><br>Is the backup running as root? By default NFS has a feature called "root squashing" that changes the root userid to nobody. You have to add the "norootsquash" parameter to the exports file on the NFS server to disable it.<br>
