snip all Hi, The mystery gets deeper, every time I mounted the network storage server disk and rsync'd I had a lot of errors. It appears that the mount point was changing permissions every time I mounted. I want all of the directories and files to retain the original privileges during the rsync. Anyway after tearing my hair out (whats left of it) I realised that after a umount my mount point /mnt/network was still connected, the umount said that the mount point was disconnected. Overtired, frustrated and baffled I switched off the box and went to the land of dreams. Today as soon as the box had booted I checked /mnt/network and The network storage discs were connected. I don't know How and Why this is automatically happening -- can anybody give me any clues?
I am rsync'ing at the moment with no errors but the backup is in the wrong directory on the network usb disc, so I need to understand how this device is automatically mounted so I can change the directory. Thanks for all who have helped so far Paul -- This message has been sent using kmail with gentoo linux -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
