I can reproduce it. On a VM with IP 192.168.122.142 I export '/nfs/' which contains only a single regular file '/nfs/nfshello' On my laptop (which is the host of that...

You are right, what got excluded by ReaR could be recreated during recover.

Perhaps ReaR should in general store and recreate all mountpoint directories regardless of the backup? I am thinking about something similar (i.e. with the same basic idea behind) as what...

Likely not - because - as ar as I see - the comments in prep/default/400_save_directories.sh explain why we cannot save NFS mountpoint directories because ``` # Furthermore automounted NFS filesystems...

As usual - simple things get complex, cf. RFC 1925 item (8): ``` It is more complicated than you think. ``` For mountpoint directories we may inspect what 'mount' tells,...

Oh - surprisingly 'stat' on a NFS mountpoint directory seems to work at least for me with SLES15-SP5 even when the NFS server VM is paused: ``` # stat -c...

Both ``` # findmnt /tmp/test-nfs-tar/nfs.mountpoint ``` and ``` # mountpoint /tmp/test-nfs-tar/nfs.mountpoint ``` work at least for me with SLES15-SP5 even when the NFS server VM is paused. But ``` #...

Oops! Correction of my above https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/3109#issuecomment-1857998156 Now also ``` # stat -c '%n %a %U %G' /tmp/test-nfs-tar/nfs.mountpoint ``` "just hangs" when the NFS server VM is paused in contrast to...

Plain ``` # stat -c '%n' /tmp/test-nfs-tar/nfs.mountpoint ``` works at least for me when the NFS server VM is paused. But this command is rather meaningles as it shows only...

Oops! - Oops! Another correction of my recent https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/3109#issuecomment-1864267013 I had some inexplicable behaviour with further tests so I umounted the NFS share and mounted it again. Now ``` #...
