Hi,
thank you for the work you're doing.

I'm trying to backup the previous firmware, just in case I might need it later on.

NAS: Lacie Network Space 2 Classic Edition

However, I'm getting an error as the backup process ends after successfully backing up both:
lacie-partition6.img
lacie-partition7.img
with the error:
"The backup of partition 9 has failed.
The script will exit to prevent data loss on your disk."

No lacie-partition8.img gets created in the process. While trying to create the file lacie-partition8.img, the process shows the progress window stuck at 0% and then the error window appears.

The NAS is empty, formatted and resetted. I also tried again after installing the last update, just in case but I got same result.

I'm not committed on doing the backup but if possible I would prefer to.
Any idea on what's wrong?
May it be a space problem? The disk where I'm trying to save the backup has 200GB free.

Hi!
Me too give me error and can not perform the backup :(

The command failing should be this one in lacie-firmware-backup.sh:

Code: Select all

if dd if="$diskid"8 of=/sda9/lacie-partition8.img > /dev/null 2> /dev/null

Is there any way to retrieve the error response instead of discarding it?

I will look to this this evening after retunring from work

great! Thank you

what happens if you perform the backup script and after it aborts you give this command

Code: Select all

dd if=/dev/sda8 of=/sda9/lacie-partition8.img

The result of sending that command after the error is:

Code: Select all

dd: writing '/sda9/lacie-partition8.img': No space left on device
1687249+0 records in
1687248+0 records out
863870976 bytes (823.9MB) copied, 92.956960 seconds, 8.9MB/s

ok , funny sda9 should be large enough

what does this command give as output

Code: Select all

ls -al /sda9

Sending the command after the error gives:

Code: Select all

total 844472
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root          4096 Sep 28 19:58 .

and finally this command
