Backup failing (flaky CIFS mount)

[imc67]

@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.

[nebulon]

@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

[p44]

@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

[nebulon]

@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
