well it turns out the terastation does not even support NFS, however it does
support Windows shares. I do have another NAS, a ReadyNAS which does support
NFS so i decided to try this one out and started a full backup job to let it
run over the weekend. Uncompressed, the data needed to backup is about
475GB. This is actually 3 different shares (A-F\: 250GB,G-N\:63GB,O-Z\:
160GB). Well hoping to see a successful backup monday morning, i came to
work seeing that the backup had failed! it ran for about 5 hours until i got
some "PIPE" error and then after that i got a "Child exited prematurely"
error.
2008-05-02 11:56:49 full backup started for directory A-F
2008-05-02 17:07:38 Aborting backup up after signal PIPE
2008-05-02 17:07:40 Got fatal error during xfer (aborted by signal=PIPE)
2008-05-02 17:07:45 Saved partial dump 0
2008-05-02 20:00:06 full backup started for directory A-F
2008-05-02 22:54:40 Got fatal error during xfer (Child exited prematurely)
2008-05-02 22:54:45 Backup aborted (Child exited prematurely)
2008-05-02 22:54:45 Saved partial dump 0
2008-05-03 20:00:02 full backup started for directory A-F
2008-05-04 17:14:22 full backup started for directory G-N
2008-05-04 22:46:52 full backup started for directory O-Z
fortunately it seems to have saved the partial backup and automatically
restarted the job. though, i'm not sure what these errors mean or if they
have anything to do with the NFS mount or if these errors are even
documented anywhere or if they will happen again.
any suggestions???
(thank you for all the help so far, btw!!)
