IT42614: NFS SHARES KNOWN BY THE AUTOMOUNTER ARE AUTOMATICALLY MOUNTED BY THE BACKUP-ARCHIVE CLIENT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• As soon as a backup is initiated, NFS shares known by the
  automounter are mounted by the backup client even though the
  AUTOMOUNT option is empty. Excluding the affected directories
  along with parent ones of the mountpoints via the exclude.dir
  and domain statements as well as exclude NFS in general does not
  prevent the symptom.
  
  IBM Spectrum Protect Versions Affected:
  IBM Spectrum Protect Backup-Archive client version 8.1.x on
  Linux and AIX platforms
  
  Additional Keywords:
  Spectrum Protect; TS010200205; autofs; automount; NFS; statfs
