mount error: can not change directory into mount target temp
tar: temp/2011.06.30.17.37.05.tar: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Thanks,

You might want to give the full path to "temp" (your mount point). Also, be sure it has permissions to allow you to mount it, both for the directory, and if this is not root, in /etc/fstab.

You can append the string " || exit 1" at the end of a command to make a script exit immediately on failure (so that subsequent commands don't create a possible mess). If the command is a pipeline, read about variable PIPESTATUS in the bash man page for how to detect errors there.

Yes,u r right,when i give the full path its working,Thank u for the solution.
