Re: [BackupPC-users] OT: udev rule for persistent removable device naming

? If you do, you could write a standard disk label to it at that time, and then use that standard label in the udev rule or even to mount the drive if your version of fstab allows drives to be specified by label. -- Jim Kyle mailto: j...@jimkyle.com

Re: [BackupPC-users] OT: udev rule for persistent removable device naming

a SCSI disk changes the disk device name but not the filesystem volume label. I believe this can be done via gparted, also, so should be easy to incorporate into your script. -- Jim Kyle mailto: j...@jimkyle.com

Re: [BackupPC-users] OT: udev rule for persistent removable device naming

and automagically partitions and formats the new drive. In that case, it can add a label to the drive at the same time, and always put the SAME label on it so that fstab can find the BAKUPDSK drive regardless of device name, and mount it to BackupPC's required mountpoint. -- Jim Kyle mailto: j

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup of VM images

Re: [BackupPC-users] SMB limitations?

using smbclient, I get the access denied error message no matter what user I try. I know that Windows from XP on won't let an external login with blank password, but my normal administrator accounts are all passworded, and they're denied access also. -- Jim Kyle mailto:j...@jimkyle.com

Re: [BackupPC-users] SMB limitations?

that works. As an administrator, backuppc can access the C$ share on at least one system, the one that's running Win2K. I haven't tried yet on the WinXP systems, but my normal login to them cannot get to it... -- Jim Kyle mailto:j...@jimkyle.com
