Under NFS clients on our DD670's we noticed that /backup/ost was shared
out to * and as we're trying to eliminate shares that are wide open (and
we were under the misconception that OST was it's own protocol
unassociated with NFS) we deleted the share.  BOOM !!... all backups to
OST storage units instantly start to fail.

 

DO NOT REMOVE THIS NFS SHARE !!

 

If you do, don't try and use the admin guide to re-add it because they
have the syntax printed incorrectly.  In order to get it back in with
the correct permissions do the following...

 

nfs add /backup/ost (insecure)

 

Hope this saves someone the 2 hours we just wasted trying to work out
the mess we'd caused ourselves !!
