Thanks, but I don't need backup software. Also, with some help, I seem
to have a nice tar script to do what I want. But in my effort to deal
with some permission/ownership problems, I find myself no longer able
to access the external mass storage device (USB 2.0 hard disk that is
seen as a SCSI device).
I first created a single primary partition on the external device and
then wrote it to disk:
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sdc1: 64 heads, 32 sectors, 39082 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1p1 1 39082 40019952 83 Linux
I then create a mount point /mnt/mirror and add to the /etc/fstab file
the line:
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/mirror ext2 noauto,user
Next I mount the drive:
[root@langhans etc]# mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/mirror
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
This sounds like an error in fstab, but I don't see it. I run:
[root@langhans etc]# mount -t ext2 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/mirror
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1,
or too many mounted file systems
Where am I going wrong?
