Bug ID: 8713
Summary: NFR: make affa3 AutoUnmount recognize external drive
mounted by disk label
Classification: Contribs
Product: SME Contribs
Version: 9.0
Hardware: ---
OS: ---
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: smeserver-affa (unmaintained)
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Created attachment 4874
--> http://bugs.contribs.org/attachment.cgi?id=4874&action=edit
Patch to /sbin/affa in order to enable check for external disk label before
unmount
Overview
========
If the AutomountDevice parameter in an affa3 backup config file does not point
to a device node (eg. /dev/sdb1) but to a disk label (eg.
/dev/disk/by-label/backupdisk) linked to this device node, the external drive
is not unmounted after the backup job is done.
Reproduce
=========
[root@sme ~]# grep Automount /etc/affa/backup-test.conf
AutomountDevice=/dev/disk/by-label/backupdisk
AutomountPoint=/mnt/backupdisk
after external drive (USB, ext3, labeled "backupdisk") is plugged in:
[root@sme ~]# ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/backupdisk
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 3. Dez 17:07 /dev/disk/by-label/backupdisk ->
../../sdb1
affa log after job finishes:
[root@sme ~]# grep Check /var/log/affa/backup-test.log
[...]: Check mounted: /dev/disk/by-label/backupdisk /mnt/backupdisk. Result: no
Actual Results
==============
As the log entry indicates, the isMounted check in /sbin/affa gives a wrong
result. Consequently, the external drive is not unmounted.
Expected Results
================
External drive should unmount after affa job is done.
Affa version
============
smeserver-affa-3.2.2.1-0.noarch
Possible Solution
=================
See attached patch:
I have implemented an additional function in /sbin/affa to check if the
external drive is mounted based on a disk label and map the label to a device
node name before the /sbin/affa script tries to unmount the drive.
Im an not sure who is currently maintaining the affa contrib (wiki says it is
currently unmaintained), but maybe this is useful for people still using the
contrib. I am of course open for discussion.
