    @iqweb Are you also using CIFS/NFS?

    Yes - storage provider: CIFS Mount

    @p44 said in Backup failing:

    @iqweb Still on Hetzner storage?

    Yes - Hetzner storage box

    & again - I had to reboot to be able to remount.

      I also have to remount my cifs share about once a month. In my case I thought it was related to my residential home internet connection. Either way I think we have to handle such mount points better and maybe even attempt a remount automatically.

        @nebulon Good idea to add a health-check to keep alive mounting

          @nebulon Does cifs mounting have some retry flags? (i.e the fstab options)

            @girish not that I have found and https://linux.die.net/man/8/mount.cifs does not mention anything.

            Apparently systemd has some automounting feature https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.automount.html which mounts the drive once the mountpoint is accessed by a process! Can't tell if it would reconnect such a mount though.

                @girish & @nebulon any news on this issue?

                I started yesterday to backup via cifs to a Hetzner storagebox (2 backups a day), today the first backup failed due to

                Command failed with exit code 1 (EPERM): df -kPT /backups_cifs
                

                I solved it with a manual:

                sudo umount /backups_cifs
                sudo mount -a
                

                But do I need to script this with a daily cron or is Cloudron able to recover from this somehow?

                  @imc67 Dear, this happened because Hetzner did some maintenance on their Box Service.

                  Also a Cloudron restart solved problem.

                    @p44 actually I hit the same thing today morning, had to remount the disk. I happily ignored the heads up warning email about the maintenance from hetzner 😉

                      @nebulon Yes, but not all my Cloudron installs has been affected, even if attached at the same Hetzner Box... Just restarted and all was operational again 🙂

                        @p44 in such cases a remount alone would be enough, no need to reboot the whole server, if that is what you did. This would then not affect downtime. We will soon implement auto-remounting in such cases.

                          @nebulon Yes before rebooting I tried to umount-remount but it seems it has been impossible due to an error... So I decided to restart.

                          About auto-remounting it will be an amazing feature
