I have set up a backup job that will mount a share, perform the backup and then umount the share. This works fine as root. When I schedule the job in cron however, the backup always fails because the mount never occurs. If I manually mount and then run the backup job in root it is successful. For various reasons I don't want to leave the mounts permanent.
OS Data you might need: OS: Debian 3.1 r0 Kernel: 2.6.11.12 w/ CIFS support compiled in Mount Type: Samba CIFS I do not seem to have a cron.log file, however here are some relevant excerpts from my kern.log file: Jun 17 12:50:05 localhost kernel: CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13 Jun 17 12:50:05 localhost kernel: CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13 Jun 17 12:50:17 localhost kernel: CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13 Jun 17 12:51:19 localhost kernel: CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13 Jun 17 12:56:59 localhost kernel: CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13 Jun 17 12:56:59 localhost kernel: CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13 My main question is why does this mount fail when ran in cron? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
