[rdiff-backup-users] rdiff-backup + nfs + symlink = Stale NFS file handle

[Guillaume Vachon]

Hi all, 

I have been using rdiff-backup for a while now and it work like a charm. However, today is the first time i yuse with nfs. Here is my setup

I have an nfs server that export a folder with "rw,no_root_squash"
om my backup server i mount that nfs share under /backup
I use an account called "gestion" and i use sudo under that account

wich mean I use the following command as the user "gestion" :
sudo rdiff-backup -v5 /etc/ /backup/serv_prin/
it start to work as suposed to and then i get the following error on a sym link file :
http://pastebin.com/m68e92b64
and the backup stop

If i use the same command without sudo, the symlink are working but the other problem im having is that the user "gestion" as some file restriction wich mean he cant alone backup every file. That's why i want to use sudo

If someone can help me that would be really apreciated

Best regards,
