Now, everytime that I have a power blackout or I reboot the nas, I have to remember to remount it manually, otherwise I get no backup.
At least the last changes work well because previously,the files was saved to the data partition if the remote share was no longer available...:whistle
Otherwise, we could add an option to auto-mount these remote shares
Note play with fstab is not a good way because it's overwritten at each booting.
if you have linux acknowledge you can create a shell script which checks if the remote share are still mounting and if not it remounts it.
Then before your backup cron job add a new job to perform your shell.
Note:
to detect if a remote samba share is mounted:
- Code: Select all
mount |grep -c '//remoteIP/remotesharename on /share/1000'
return 1 if is there. (of course replace remoteIP and remotesharename by the relevant value)
and for mounting a remote samba share
- clean a maybe orphan mount :
- Code: Select all
umount /mnt/remote_share_mount_dir/remoteIP-smb-remotesharename
- and mount the share:
- Code: Select all
mkdir -p -m 777 /mnt/remote_share_mount_dir/remoteIP-smb-emotesharename
mount -t cifs //remoteIP/remotesharename /mnt/remote_share_mount_dir/remoteIP-smb-emotesharename -o rw,iocharset=utf8,username=yourlogin,password=yourpasswd
mount -o bind /mnt/remote_share_mount_dir/remoteIP-smb-remotesharename /share/1000/remoteIP-smb-remotesharename
---edit---
attached a shell script type. you must replace each remoteIP, remotesharename, your login and your password by their relevant value.
