I think Paul's point is valid about tar's one-filesystem flag, I haven't tried it, but perhaps if you exclude ./tmp it won't stat /tmp/somedir. The real solution, of course, is to not have hung mounts ;-). > >> Amanda does do a df of a couple of places (indexdir and tmp perhaps?) >> but I doubt those would hang unless they happened to be on your hung >> mount. >> >> > Doesn't df always scan all the mounted filesystems? Or can you restrict it? If you call df with a filename or directory argument it only reports on the mount point containing it.
