Backup domoticz on Mac HDD through mount on Raspberry Pi

[krizzz]

Maybe someone here can help me with this. I am trying to mount my Mac HDD on a mount location on my Mac.

In My FSTAB I have the following entry

Code: Select all

 //192.168.0.XX/Volumes/Data2TB-1/Backup/Images/Domoticz /mnt/backup/ cifs vers=1.0,user=XXX,password=XXX,x-systemd.automount 0 0

But when mounting

Code: Select all

 sudo mount -a

I receive the following error.

Code: Select all

 mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

I know the location on the disk is right. I copied paste the location from the Mac.

Also the location on the Pi is correct with the correct reading and writing permissions

Code: Select all

 pi@raspberrypi:/mnt $ ls -l
total 4
drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 2 23:36 backup

So I am lost why I keep getting this error message. Someone here with an idea?

try and remove the last slash from /mnt/backup/

or you can try to mount the directory in you backup script like this

Code: Select all

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.XX/Volumes/Data2TB-1/Backup/Images/Domoticz /mnt/backup -o username=XXX,password=XXX,vers=1.0

and sudo umount /mnt/backup after

So first of all, thanks for the help! I tried your suggestion, bt received the following message:

Code: Select all

Couldn't chdir to /mnt/backup: No such device

That's strange, lets try to go to the directory:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd /mnt

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:/mnt $ ls
backup

Ok, the backup dir is there

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:/mnt $ cd backup

gives me

Code: Select all

-bash: cd: backup: No such device

Very very strange. So I thought I try and remove the dir and create new one:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:/mnt $ rmdir backup
rmdir: failed to remove 'backup': Permission denied

So there is something wrong with the permissions of the dir, maybe that we the issue in the first place. But now I am trying to remove the dir and it refuses

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:/mnt $ rm -Rf backup
rm: cannot remove 'backup': Permission denied

Are you sure /mnt/backup is actually a directory? (Could be why cd is giving an error). Try

Code: Select all

ls -al

and check.

You need to put sudo in front of your commands. Also, to create the directory from within /mnt, you'll need to do

Code: Select all

sudo mkdir backup

MikeF is right.

my /mnt dir looks like this

Code: Select all

pi@RPi-Rob-usb:/mnt $ ls -l
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr  7  2020 NAS.MOUNTPOINT
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 10  2020 rob
pi@RPi-Rob-usb:/mnt $ 

so make sure you use sudo when trying to mount/umount.
and ls -l will show you the owner and rights. t is important the permissions are set correctly.

You are right, I tried with side, but nothing worked. To me now , it looks like a permission problem.

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:/mnt $ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Feb 14  2019 backup

There is one folder there, but the total says 0?

Also here when trying to remove with sudo, it doesn't work.

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi:/mnt $ sudo rmdir backup
rmdir: failed to remove 'backup': Device or resource busy

Maybe there is a problem with your file system.

You can check live file systems in read-only mode with this:

if running from an SD card: e2fsck -vfn /dev/mmcblk0p2
or when running from usb e2fsck -vfn /dev/sda? (sda? is where the root partition is mounted

if this finds errors, force an fchk on reboot via
sudo touch /forcefsck
sudo reboot

After your system boots, check if the file still exists:
sudo ls /forcefsck
If it does, you may want to remove it in order to avoid fsck on every system boot.
