Considerations when AFD runs on a NFS filesystem Remember the internal directory structure of AFD and the what happens internally when it sends a file. Make sure that the files directory (and maybe also the archive directory) is also located on the NFS mount. afd@idefix:~$ ls -l $AFD_WORK_DIR total 28 lrwxrwxrwx 1 afd afd 17 2011-04-07 07:12 archive -> /mnt/nfs/archive drwxr-xr-x 2 afd afd 4096 2011-05-09 09:00 bin drwxr-xr-x 2 afd afd 4096 2012-09-17 11:09 etc drwxrwxr-x 2 afd afd 4096 2012-09-17 11:09 fifodir lrwxrwxrwx 1 afd afd 15 2011-04-07 07:12 files -> /mnt/nfs/files drwxrwxr-x 2 afd afd 4096 2012-09-28 00:00 log drwxrwxr-x 2 afd afd 12288 2012-06-27 11:23 messages
