Hello Dan,

Put the following in your mtab or on the mount command line:

    rw,hard,nointr,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,bg,nfsvers=3,tcp

Note: the rsize and wsize will never really be used but will be negotiated
down by any Linux system to be the maximum possible (you might need to
reduce it by powers of 2 until it works on FreeBSD if FreeBSD does not use
negotiation such as Linux).

With those parameters, the NetApp I had (some time ago) ran nearly as fast as
local disks for writing Bacula volumes.

You might also find the following useful:


Best regards,
Kern

Have you backed up to NetApp?

At $WORK we are likely to soon have heaps of NetApp storage at our disposal.

Of course my thoughts turned to backups.

Do you use a NetApp appliance with Bacula as a destination for backups?

I know of the NetApp plugin for Bacula, but that is the wrong direction: that is for backing up the NetApp device.

I've never mounted remote storage for bacula-sd over any of NFS, CIF, Samba, etc.

I can't imagine NFS would be useful given the throughput.  Mind you, I don't yet know how much we'll be backing up, but it'll be more than 1

Have you?
