Continuing to Work During a Scheduled Downtime
If your file server is down and you export files from that system, those
files are inaccessible to you. If you are able to use your workstation or
other server, and the necessary software is available, copy the data files
into your local directory tree and work on them there while the file
server is down. You can also copy any other files or executables you need.
It is very important that you copy any modified files back to the
appropriate location on the file server as soon as it is available again.
Also, while the file server is down, do not save files in the exported
directory or any other mountpoint. Such files will be hidden when you
remount the file system from the file server.
