SSH keys are *usually* stored in $HOME/.ssh, and the error you are seeing clearly indicates that this folder cannot be created. Since it cannot create the folder, it cannot store your public key, and therefore cannot authenticate via key pair. I'm fairly new to FreeNAS, but on my box /nonexistent/ literally does not exist.
My understanding is that this is a keyword used for users that run without home directories. Which user are you attempting to use on the FreeNAS end? Whatever user it being used to read/write files on your NAS box appears to be configured to run without a $HOME folder, and will be unable to store a public key for authentication. This is is just a guess but if the BackupPC app runs as a given user, you may need to add a home folder for that user. Then you will be able to transfer your public key to it. -Ben On Sun, Nov 24, 2019 at 6:12 PM <mich...@robinson-west.com> wrote: > This is the rsync child about to exec /usr/local/bin/rsync_bpc > Could not create directory '/nonexistent/.ssh'. > Host key verification failed. > rsync_bpc: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) > [Receiver] > Done: 0 errors, 0 filesExist, 0 sizeExist, 0 sizeExistComp, 0 filesTotal, > 0 sizeTotal, 0 filesNew, 0 sizeNew, 0 sizeNewComp, 2 inode > rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(226) > [Receiver=3.1.2.1] > rsync_bpc exited with fatal status 12 (3072) (rsync error: error in rsync > protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(226) [Receiver=3.1.2.1]) > Xfer PIDs are now > Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share /) > Backup aborted (No files dumped for share /) > > November 24, 2019 7:59 PM, mich...@robinson-west.com wrote: > > > > https://www.ixsystems.com/community/threads/quickstart-guide-for-backuppc-4-in-a-jail-on-freenas.740 > > My question is, do I need to import the ssh key for root user on my CentOS > 7 box so I can rsync back up the entire system? > I'm trying to trigger a backup from my FreeNAS box using BackupPC4 in a > jail. > _______________________________________________ > PLUG mailing list > PLUG@pdxlinux.org > http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug > _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
