    Vax45 - 2011-05-29

    On my DRBL server, I want to store my disk images on a separate partition.  The directory that stores the disk images is /home/partimag.

    /dev/sda1 /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
    /dev/sda2 none            swap    sw              0       0
    #/dev/sdb1 will store the disk images
    /dev/sdb1       /home/partimag  ext4    defaults        0       0

    However, when the client boots, it doesn't see the separate partition.  When I do a backup, the contents are written to /dev/sda1.

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    This issue is with NFS.  I somehow need to tell NFS to expose the separate hard disk to the client.

    I got around this by adding a separate /home/partimag line to /etc/exports.

    Sure. Or after you mount /dev/sdb1 as /home/partimag, re-run "/opt/drbl/sbin/drblpush -i", and it should work without manually editing /etc/exports.

    Steven.
