Topic: Backup to usb (within server manager) doesn't work since last centos-upgrade

[kb-ohnemus]

I don't know yet  if this is a bug or if I destroyed something in some way, so I'll ask here first..

I'm running 8.0beta6 and I applied the centos-upgrades last week. I use an ext3 usb-disk labeled backup1 which used to mount automatically on /media/backup1 during backup.

Since the upgrade I get this mail:

Code: [Select]

Error while mounting  /media/backup1
 :
mount: can't find /media/backup1
 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
Backup terminated: backup failed - status: 7424
Looking into /media there are two folders: backup1 and backup1? (yes, exactly as I typed, with ? at the end of the name). Deleting the folders and running a new backup attempt (which then ends with the error mentioned) creates the two folders again.

So anyone else with this problem? I can't remember beeing tinkering on the server except for the upgrade..

Due to the newline I think you are suffering from this bug: http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6605

You can easily work around this by:

• updating e-smith-backup as detailed in the bug

[li]remove the ^M from the SmbShare property:

[/li][/list]

Code: [Select]

db configuration setprop backupwk SmbShare /media/backup1

However every time you will save the backup page in server-manager you might get this back if you do not update to the newer e-smith-backup.[/li]

Cactus, thanks for the hint, solved.

Please don't do that. If you think there is a chance that it is a bug, please report via the bug tracker.

• remove the ^M from the SmbShare property:
  

We should add a migrate fragment so that this is done automatically during the upgrade.

You know how to do that ... Please open a bug in the bugtracker (sorry I couldn't resist), so we can discuss it there, as I have got a slightly other opinion.
