Hello everyone,
I recently migrated a physical IBM server to a proxmox VM
I would like to re-use the IBM RDX device with removable disks as daily backup target.
First of all, I mounted the /dev/sdd1 device into a /backup folder and configured as a storage entry (type Directory, VZDump selected)
Then I created a specific backup entry in the proxmox GUI, selecting a the folder-mounted backup target.
Everything works as expected.
Now, I would like to automatically mount the device when the backup starts and unmount+eject it when the backup completes successfully.
My first attempt of a custom script (configured in /etc/vzdump.conf) is the following:
Unfortunately the backup fails with this error:
After the error, I can see that the device is correctly mounted.
If I immediately run the backup again, it works:
What could I be missing?
