Remind me, where is it inheriting the perms from? The folders under
the mount are all correct.
ext4 stores owner and group id numbers, so you need to do a "chown -R
backuppc.backuppc /var/lib/BackupPC" when it's mounted to set the uid
and gid. Alas, it looks like the UID and GID for backuppc aren't
registered so they get dynamically allocated when the package is
installed. They'll be different on every system. So one might need to do
the chown as part of a startup script if the drive gets shared among
several servers.
Tip:
Mount the drive's root to /mnt/BackupPC, create subfolders /backuppc/etc
and /backuppc/BackupPC, then do a bind mount of those folders to
/etc/BackupPC and /var/lib/BackupPC. That way you'll keep the
configuration on the drive with the data. It makes a bare-metal recovery
easier if the server dies.
