Hello List , the command "mount" just stopped working as it did for past 16 years : - when doing rsync backups , my backup device gets mounted on a directory called /mnt_cron - the command is : mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb2 /mnt_cron now, the command mount fails to mount on /mnt_cron , however the command mount does mount ok on /mnt .............. the two mount points show characteristics as follows : drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jun 15 15:20 /mnt drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 24 13:41 /mnt_cron - fsck.ext4 -f /dev/sdb2 shows no probs with sdb2 - any ideas WHY the command mount fails to mount on /mnt_cron ?? regards ellan ........ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
