no. I think your NFS share is (wrongly) detected as unmounted, since activate_storage in the NFS plugin will try to mount if nfs_is_mounted returned undef. in general activate_storage is supposed to detect if the storage is already activated and turn into a no-op if needed, and calling storage can treat it as idempotent. what does "grep aurel /proc/mounts" say on this machine? > > Issue 2: > When the backup process failed no email was sent to the specified address > though email notification mode is set to "always". > Emails in general do work, at least apticron sends update notifications and > sending mails from CLI also works. > > Question 2a: > Why was no email sent after the backup process failed? > can you post the complete log? > Question 2b: > Does the WebUI use a different method for sending emails?
