Hi all,
I have a simple crude script which i use to backup some data. I use shell escapes to mount my jazz drive..then tar the data on to the jazz drive...then i attempt to unmount the jazz drive... here is what happens... the program seems to work..the files are saved in /mnt/jazz and i can view the tar archives..etc...even untar them...BUT OLd data i saved on the drive is not listed anymore when i use an ls from linux. then when i unmount the drive..all teh data is not there anymore but OLD data i wrote to the disk is there. It alsmost seems that the mounting of my jazz drive from perl creates some type of ramdisk instead of saving it to the jazz disk... Is there something i am missing?? The code follows... #!/usr/bin/perl $mount_jazz = `mount /mnt/jazz`; $unmount_jazz = `umount /mnt/jazz`; $backup_spool = `tar -cf /mnt/jazz/backup_spool.tar /var/spool/`; $backup_rootmail = `tar -cf /mnt/jazz/backup_rootmail.tar /root/mail`; $backup_adamchrmail = `tar -cf /mnt/jazz/backup_adamchrmail.tar /home/adamchr $backup_etc = `tar -cf /mnt/jazz/backup_etc.tar /etc`; $bzip_jazz = `bzip2 -kf /mnt/jazz/*.tar`; $erase_tar = `rm -f /mnt/jazz/*.tar`; #$mount_jazz; $backup_spool; $backup_rootmail; $backup_adamchrmail; $backup_etc; $erase_tar; -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
