The error you are getting is for dirvish, not mount so I wonder if your

partition is mounted through non-dirvish means to verify that your fstab

Ben,

Yes, it's a dirvish error.

run mount ( with no arguments) or ls the contents of /mnt/backup. The error
you posted appears to be unrelated to mountpoints and /etc/fstab so we
might have fallen down the rabbit hole.

[root@salmo ~]# mount
/dev/sda3 on / type ext4 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/sdb1 on /home type ext4 (rw)
/dev/sdb2 on /opt type ext4 (rw)
/dev/sdb3 on /data type ext4 (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw)
/dev/sdc1 on /mnt/backup type ext4 (rw)

[root@salmo ~]# ls /mnt/backup/
ls: reading directory '/mnt/backup/': Input/output error

Ah, something got screwed up again.

[root@salmo ~]# less /etc/fstab
/dev/sda2        swap             swap        defaults         0   0

Should I change permissions on the backup drive from defaults to
auto,users,rw?

Thanks,

Rich
