Hi Todd Ok, I've looked into this further and have been able to reproduce the problem.
From the logs I gather that you would have called mondoarchive without any command line arguments. You then entered the following: 1) Backup to: NFS mount 2) NFS dir. neysa:/mnt/backups/mondo 3) How much compression? Maximum 4) Which directory within that mountpoint? penguin 5) Backup paths: / 6) Exclude paths: /mnt/backups /tmp/isodir and some more things. 2) and 4) are the crucial questions here. Could you try again with the same input as before with the following two changes: 2) neysa:/mnt/backups/mondo/penguin 4) <leave blank> Background: You ask: > I'm not mounting it to anything in /tmp. Is this something mondo is > doing automatically? which is a good question, indeed, and the answer is yes. mondoarchive will mount the network path specified under 2) as '/tmp/isodir'. In your case that would have been 'neysa:/mnt/backups/mondo' for which you probably don't have write access as opposed to 'neysa:/mnt/backups/mondo/penguin' which works fine as you demonstrated. At this stage I am not sure what the directory that one can specify under 4) is good for. But I suppose we take one step at a time. So, if you could try out the above and let me know how you go, that would be great. I'll try to find out more about 4) in the meantime. Best regards Andree PS: I'll be away over the weekend and thus will unfortunately be able to look further into this over the weekend. Back next week... On Sun, 2005-05-22 at 15:57 -0700, Todd A.
