I'm trying to take an offline backup on Linux to an NFS mounted
filesystem. I have no trouble creating files or directories manually
in this filesystem. Here's the df -h for it:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
<IPaddressHere - ommitted>:/db2backup
84G 677M 82G 1% /mnt1
Each time I try the backup, no matter what buffer size I use, I get:
SQL2025N An I/O error "" occurred on media "6".
No return code, and a media of "6" - strange. And this is written to
the db2diag.log:

Backup terminated.
Any suggestions on what I migth try? We've done this on AIX before,
but never on Linux, so I'm worried that backups to NFS on Linux simply
aren't supported.
Thanks,
Ember
