Dear Colleague,
I'm wondering if one of you might have an insight into the following Problem (if this is the wrong listserv to post, please forgive me and point me to a better site): I have an iomega jaz/SCZI drive hooked up to my Pentium III Redhat 7.1 machine. I use this drive for nightly backups. On boot I mount the drive on /mnt/jaz using the following command listed in the /etc/rc.local file: mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/jaz All of this works fine. When log in I can access /mnt/jaz just fine. The problem is, I can write to /mnt/jaz, but only once! Once I write to the drive, subsequent writes cause the following error: cp: cannot create regular file `/mnt/jaz/some_file`: Read-only file system Interestingly enough, these are the results for ls -l on / and /mnt drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Jul 25 06:34 mnt and drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 16384 Dec 31 1969 jaz So as root, I should be able to read and write these directories just fine. Just as interesting, if I manually umount the drive and mount it again, I can, once again, write the drive; but only once!!! Now, I can certainly modify my backup script to first umount and mount the drive before copying the files, but that seems like the wrong approach to solving this problem. Any ideas? RR p.s. Any idea why /mnt/jaz has a date of Dec 31, 1969 on it? _________________________________ I keep six honest serving-men (They taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When And How and Where and Who.
