Hi! I want to use rsnapshot to make backups and I can't because the second driver is read-only (so it say).
I'm using webmin to administer the server and when trying to change the directories permissions it doesn't let me - again, read-only.
It was not like this before and I have no idea why now is read only and before it wasn't. I have this in my fstab file:
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 / ext3 grpquota,suid,dev,defaults,usrquota,exec 0 1
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /HDD2 ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0
I want to backup a folder on the sda1 to sdb1 (don't know for sure if I need a swap on sdb but I created one, anyway).
Please note that I've tried this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1264741 but it didn't worked.
As an ultimate solution, I'm thinking to just format the sdb again, but don't remember how I did it the first time (must be the age :)).
Either way, any help would be appreciated.
BTW, this is what I got from rspanshot:
Output from command /usr/bin/rsnapshot daily ..

rsnapshot encountered an error! The program was invoked with these options:
/usr/bin/rsnapshot daily
