Hello list,
Hi,
My little Atom box has a small rescue system which I boot once a week
to back up the main system. The backup script is a simple list of bash
commands to mount partitions and tar them to a USB disk.
Please share a copy of the backup script.
While the backup is running I run another script to clean up after
any recent update, which involves removing surplus packages, running
eclean etc.
Please share a copy of your cleanup script.
But! At least once per session I have to remount the root filesystem read-
write because something, presumably tar, has caused it to be remounted
read- only.
"tar" itself shouldn't alter mounts at all.
It is possible that there could be a mount option that causes the file
system to be remounted read-only if there is a problem accessing the
file system.
Where do I start tracking this down? This behaviour was a factor in
my suspecting an SSD failure, but I've replaced that and still get the
same remounting.
But such remounting is not likely on a new SSD.
I'd need to see the scripts to even hazard a guess as to what might be
happening.
