Trouble mounting usb disks in fstab
« on: November 18, 2009, 08:09:06 PM »
I would like to to use backup with DAR in order to backup sme server with two rotating usb disks ,

I have followed what is written here :

http://wiki.contribs.org/USBDisks#USB_Disks

I formated the first usb disk with :

mkfs.vfat -n backmeup /dev/sda1

and have added this line to /etc/fstab :

LABEL=backmeup /media/backup vfat defaults

upon restart i see this while the server is booting :

 mount: mount point /media/backup does not exist  , do i need to create the mount point backup myself ?

And if so how do i do that ?

Update , after a bit of google foo i decided to create /media/backup using this command :

mkdir /media/backup .

Now i have in the backup to dar panel two options in the Destination backup share folder :

backmeup - the labal of the usb disk

backup - i belive refres to /media/backup in fstab.

Is this o.k. ?
