RonR, thank you for that confirmation, but I'm giving up on the Mac for the moment. I don't know why it stopped working, and I figure troubleshooting cifs across TWO platforms might be more difficult than trying to get nfs working on two pi's.Is there anything special about writing backups to nfs-mounted drives?
I had been writing backups to an external drive shared from my Mac using cifs, but that stopped working, so I decided to try a different external drive nfs-mounted from my pi5.
The drive is mounted, and I can do an "ls -al" just before calling image-backup, and it's there:But image-backup fails saying:Code:
-rw------- 1 pi pi 19617731072 Oct 19 07:01 /mnt/backup/pi44-bookworm64F.imgThoughts?Code:
/mnt/backup/pi44-bookworm64F.img not found
I just checked and I don't have any problems creating an initial backup nor an incremental backup to a Windows share mounted using cifs from my Raspberry Pi 5.
So, the situation I mentioned farther inside my post is what I'm asking about here - an ext4-formatted drive mounted on my pi5, exported using nfs, and visible from a Zero2W, but somehow not found or usable by image-backup.
I wrote a little script to compose the desired image name, then print some debugging data, then call image-backup. I think the file is there, image-backup thinks it's not... First, the telling bit of the code:
Code:
WHAT=/mnt/backup/${IMAGENAME}echo ""echo I am trying to back up to $WHATecho ""echo ls -al shows:ls -al $WHATecho ""echo 'MY [ ! -f $WHAT ]' indicates:if [ ! -f $WHAT ]; then echo $WHAT not foundelse echo $WHAT IS foundfiecho image-backup says:EXCLUDE_FILE=~/bin/image-exclude.txtsudo ~/bin/image-backup --options --exclude-from=$EXCLUDE_FILE,--delete-excluded $WHATRC=$?echo I say image-backup returned rc=$RCCode:
