Hello all
I had this message:
“Backup failed to copy the tar file”
So I checked if the USB stick (using df -H ) where I store my backups was online, and nope!
I had to mount it manually.
I’ve checked the smb.conf file and the instructions are still there:
[usbstorage]
comment=USB
path=/mnt/usbstorage
browseable=Yes
writeable=Yes
only guest=no
create mask=0777
directory mask=0777
public=no
Is it a bug from the last updates ?
How can I solve this issue?
Hi, lets start with logs cause just some configs wont help in this matter
sudo grab-logs -A
and we take it from there see whats what in the system
Not aware of any issue in this regards. Suggest to:
grab-logs -A@Toast made a mistake command should be with capital -A
Also please detailed how you normally mounted (automount or fstab)
in my defense i seldom use it 
corrected my post above to avoid confusion for any other users 
gave this.
Well, I since it’s more than a year I made this I don’t remember exactly how I managed it,
but in my fstab file I got this:
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat defaults,noatime 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p2 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0
UUID=9b7cb0d6-4b06-42a2-a949-17c05a3c9b94 /mnt/usbstorage ext4 nofail,defaults 0 0
does UUID match?
simple way to determine that is type in console or ssh
blkid
That command gave:
/dev/mmcblk0: PTUUID=“000c3329” PTTYPE=“dos”
/dev/mmcblk0p1: UUID=“27FF-1861” TYPE=“vfat” PARTUUID=“000c3329-01”
/dev/mmcblk0p2: UUID=“3c39c8c6-4f2b-497b-ad9e-ea6667dd784c” TYPE=“ext4” PARTUUID=“000c3329-02”
UUID in fstab 9b7cb0d6-4b06-42a2-a949-17c05a3c9b94
UUID in system 3c39c8c6-4f2b-497b-ad9e-ea6667dd784c
UUID is not the same
Maybe powersupply or device issue.

Maybe just remove the fstab entry and use automount (will be under /media/disk_label
Did look as far as dmesg logs but damn thats not good at all.
That’s his SD Card not the USB Stick
I never changed anything.
Last backup and copy to the stick was made on the 25th of may and it worked fine.
Its broken since the last updates…
@fzinken right thats the sd card sorry 
@Sventovit its not the updates that broke it its the PSU as @fzinken suggested if you look at your dmesg logs its full of message about usb problem.
try another PSU see if that solves the issue and remove the line for the usb device in fstab and it will automount.
Okey.
But how?
I’m a real newb.

Just outta curiosity do you have the small lightning icon in the corner when you use your mediacenter ?
No I don’t. Never saw this.
Well as mentioned if the USB stick works properly and your power supply is working fine it would already been automounted under /media/
You can set/change the disk label (assuming it is EXT4 as indicated by your fstab entry) with e2label /dev/sda1 <new label>
But looking at your syslog your problem is more fundamental
