ERROR: Destination storage device not mounted at </srv/dev-disk-by-uuid

So, I have this USB flash drive, and I use RSync to backup some stuff once a week. And once in a while I get this email saying:

Code

ERROR: Destination storage device not mounted at </srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-d47264cb-909d-464f-b6b7-46ec9a454c8c/>!

And my USB drive is now accesible. Tried resetting the OMV, didn't help. It's not on the list of my devices. I had to pull it out of the USB port and put it back in and mount it again.

This already happened 2 or 3 times.

Any ideas why this happens and what can I do to prevent it?

Probably the drive goes to standby and cannot be woken up by Linux. Depends on the USB-SATA bridge.

Avoid that it goes to standby, e.g. by touching a file on the drive every 5 min or so.

Well, maybe that is not the case here, because if that's the case, why would only happen once in a while, and not every day, or every week? The last time it happened was maybe last month, maybe even 2 months ago.

Hey Nabukodonosor

It may be that the USB flash drive is defective?

I've had problems with it before.

Well, it's a brand new USB flash drive. Just bought for this purpose. I mean, maybe, but I really don't think so. It works fine, apart from this thing.

Jetzt mitmachen!
