Hey,
Upon entering my Master Password, I am getting the following error:
RPC ERROR: Filesystem I/O Error /media/embassy/tmp/F6HHJY7PGEQPIIAMRGTWEGUOTFAIXFV3LP6NHEFKQHO6MGPSLC2Q/EmbassyBackups/crypt: Read-only file system (os error 30)
Seems like I need to disable the ‘read-only’ file system to enable backup?
Any help appreciated.
You might try a system rebuild. You go to system → system rebuild. It usually solves issues with containers. It does take a while though and it rebuilds all containers. Here is the WARNING label
This action will tear down all service containers and rebuild them from scratch. No data will be deleted. This action is useful if your system gets into a bad state, and it should only be performed if you are experiencing general performance or reliability issues. It may take up to 78 minutes to complete. During this time, you will lose all connectivity to your server.
Thank you Rick.
I tried that but got the same error:(.
Anything else you might advise I try?
You’re unable to backup to that target because that target is not configured correctly.
First you’d need to go through this guide:
https://docs.start9.com/0.3.5.x/user-manual/backups/backup-create
…and work out what steps you missed.
With that complete, if it still doesn’t work, what you’d troubleshoot next would depend on the OS of the target machine… but you don’t mention what that is. So generally speaking, either the directory has the wrong permissions or you have something blocking the ability to write. This is an issue with the target, not the Start9 server.
Thanks! That would make sense. I’m going ahead and reformatting my drive.
However, I don’t see an option to reformat using EXT4. Do the following formats work (no mention in the guide):
No, you need EXT4. That you don’t see it as an option in Mac OS is because Apple doesn’t want you to do anything outside of Apple.
Best way to format to EXT4 is to use Linux, and the best way to quickly and easily do that is to live boot a Linux distro on your Mac.
