https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=375212 Summary: Yast2 System Backup does not exclude /mnt by default Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: carlos.lange@ualberta.ca QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- I usually add the directories /usr/local and /home to the default list of exclusions to create system-backups in my openSUSE machines, because I know those directories have huge amount of data that can easily be reinstalled or are backed up otherwise. I noticed that /media is included in the default exclusion list, which makes sense, but /mnt is not included. When I purchased a NAS for large scratch files and backup and mounted it under /mnt the backup process filled my system partition (containing /tmp) trying to backup the whole NAS. I think that /mnt should be included in the default list of exclusions, since by definition it contains data not physically within the machine (same as with /media) and potentially much larger than the physical disk space. Because of the risk associated I feel this would be rather a bug than an enhancement. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
