help with understanding drive assignments

I have a usb drive. OMV add in fstab the below entry.

UUID=854fe912-9f08-423d-9bc8-26a404cae6d0 /media/854fe912-9f08-423d-9bc8-26a404cae6d0 ext4 defaults,nofail,acl,user_xattr,noexec,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 0 2

In my log, i get the following
systemd[1]: media-854fe912\x2d9f08\x2d423d\x2d9bc8\x2d26a404cae6d0.mount: Directory /media/854fe912-9f08-423d-9bc8-26a404cae6d0 to mount over is not empty, mounting anyway.
kernel: EXT4-fs (sdd1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: acl,user_xattr,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0

i also get the below.

rsync-8c1e8eac-82b9-4cfc-b05a-7bf3b9e9aedb[1679]: Please wait, syncing '/media/a7e96974-7965-4103-9743-281802f3d956/home' to '/srv/91a7385924d7c5618fefbebbf2081a7a/home' ...\n

the /srv/91a7385924d7c5618fefbebbf2081a7a/home = /media/854fe912-9f08-423d-9bc8-26a404cae6d0/home

Can someone help me to understand why there are two definitions pls

hi votdev

yes, i have both.

1) USB Plugin (all jobs currently disabled)

2) Rsync (but all jobs currently disabled)

but I guess it is something to do with there being different shared folders on the external drive where different backups are stored. i.e. backup plugin, mysql backup, etc.

It seems during initial bootup there is a delay while it tries to mount the drive which is not plugged in. (which i assume it knows about because of the sharedfolder definitions).
Ideally it should ignore this drive if it is not plugged in. I am wondering if this is part of the systemd ordering problems i am having...see other post.

I have removed the usb pluggin for the moment.

So i think the issue is;
- the USB Backup jobs were inherited from 2.x upgrade
- it seems under 3.x they get /srv/xxxxx

However, there still exists shared folders on the device which still get an fstab entry /media/854fe91

the device still uses;
- rsync jobs to backup when the usb drive has not been removed
- backup plug to backup the system drive

So it seems there is a conflict between these differing config types. Could that be right?

hi votdev,

so i removed all the shared folders, and do a system backup to the data drive. so no need to have sharedfolders on the usb drive now.
I have set usb backup to backup all the sharedfolders and removed all rysnc jobs.

i usually leave the usb drive plugged in - i know dumb.
if i run a cron job to mount the drive every day, that should trigger usb back to work, rather than using rsync jobs right?
how do i do it?

cheers
