Hi, Hardy 8.10 Please can anybody in the list help with this? It is driving me nuts.
I hava a physically separate ntfs drive that I use for backups. It makes no difference if I format it ext3. The drive is not in fstab as I do not want it mounted automatically nor all the time. Keeping it in Places>Removable Media suits me fine. I have two scripts - one to mount it and the second to unmount it. The latter will not run under cron and will only "Run In Terminal". I am denied permission to unmount it by clicking on it. The drive is called hardy32-backups and I have made a folder called hardy32-backups in /media/ - without it the first script will not run. The scripts are in /usr/local/bin and Schedule Tasks has the right path to them: 1. mount hardy-32-backups.sh runs at 4am and 2. unmount hardy-32-backups.sh (should) runs at 7am. 1. mount hardy-32-backups.sh script runs fine - it contains: #!/bin/sh sudo mount UUID=764809814809417B /media/hardy32-backups 2. unmount hardy-32-backups.sh does not run - which is my problem. It contains: #!/bin/sh sudo umount /media/hardy32-backups/ I have tried: sudo umount UUID=764809814809417B /media/hardy32-backups sudo umount UUID=764809814809417B sudo umount /hardy32-backups sudo umount /hardy32-backups/ without any luck as well as running without sudo in front. When mounted by the script it appears on the desktop and in mtab as: /dev/sdi1 /media/hardy32-backups fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0 but please note it is not always sdbi1 after a reboot. I just can't get it to umount via cron. Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks.
