I have been trying for 2 days now to get one of the two external drives I have to work for backups of my install.
My fdisk -l /dev/sdb yields this output: http://susepaste.org/41422947
I have been using the Backups gui program that I believe is provided by MATE but I use KDE. The shortcut resides in the System option in the Menu. I had a TW install a few days back and this worked perfectly for me.
and that backup program is what? perhaps duplicity?
I am again using TW, second install, both installs were upgrades. When I use this Backups program, it throws an external window showing this:
I have formatted both drives a few times to ext4. I used GSmartControl on one for a 2 hour test and it was fine. Both drives are fine.
I believe something with duplicity or python is causing this issue but i've no clue.
what does (as root): zypper ver provide? are you really getting disk errors, re subject, or just getting errors from program output? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
