Description:
Backup Jobs are delayed waiting for Job options from several minutes to several hours before they begin writing to media
Symptoms:
Filesystem Backup Job on Linux Clients hang waiting for Job Options
This is previously documented as "Backup Job is Delayed (FSG-389)" - The start of a backup job may be delayed in an environment with a large number of direct auto mounts on Linux Clients. Even though remote mounts are not part of the selection set. The job may remain at 'Waiting for Job Options' status while the Filesystem Plugin attempts to temporarily load the auto mounts to determine whether they are located on remote systems.
This delay can be alleviated by selecting the 'Backup through Remote Mounts' option and/or adding the following stanza in
...\NetVault\config\nvfs.cfg on the effected client:
from:
[Performance:DoRecursiveAutoMountScan]
Value=TRUE
to:
[Performance:DoRecursiveAutoMountScan]
Value=FALSE
