Package: rsnapshot
Version: 1.3.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze

With rsnapshot from lenny it was able to copy backups to a mounted USB hard disk
and unmount the USB disk after rsnapshot had finished. For the unmounting I used
the cmd_postexec configuration parameter.

With rsnapshot from squeeze this is not possible anymore. rsnapshot complains 
with
,,Device or resource busy'' (meaning: the USB disk cannot be unmounted because
rsnapshot has its current working directory within the snapshot root somewhere).

With this issue report I would like to provide a patch (against rsnapshot in 
squeeze)
that might solve the problem. (,,might'' means here: the problem occurrs at a 
customer's
site where I cannot test the patch ATM, but it is very likely that the patch 
fixes the
reported issue).

The patch will be send with a follow-up mail.
