tags 493177 +upstream severity 493177 wishlist merge 493176 493177 thanks Hi, You're right, preexec is optionnal and no blockable "by design" :
g...@kamehouse:~$ sudo rsnapshot hourly mount: special device /dev/sdg does not exist WARNING: cmd_preexec "/home/gui/bin/rsnapshot_pre.sh" returned 1 my test script rsnapshot_pre.sh only contains : #!/bin/bash mount /dev/sdg /mnt || exit 1 The rsnapshot function "exec_cmd_preexec" (or exec_cmd_postexec for postexec) just check the returned code before launching snapshots. It seems that a feature request is already opened upstream about this problem (2007): http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1730249&group_id=88546&atid=587079 I will send a comment on this feature request, to "up" this feature upstream. For now, i change the priority of the bug to wishlist and merge this bug with your previous (#493176) which is related. Another feature request to have preexec for whole rsnapshot run too: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2446248&group_id=88546&atid=587079 -- Guillaume Delacour
