[SOLVED] [bash script] rsync won't create directory on usb mount

BW-userx · 06-08-2023, 07:31 AM

my backup script, I added a usb to it but it fails to created directory. I changed the ssd to 775 and still nope.

it works fine on going to my other drive on my laptop though. creates directories without error.

Code:

+ rsync -av --info=progress --exclude=lost+found --exclude=.cache --exclude=snap --exclude=.dbus /home/userx1 /run/media/userx/backup/HomeBackUps/Ubuntu/
sending incremental file list
rsync: [Receiver] mkdir "/run/media/userx/backup/HomeBackUps/Ubuntu" failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(791) [Receiver=3.2.7]
+ echo /run/media/userx/backup/HomeBackUps/Ubuntu/userx1
/run/media/userx/backup/HomeBackUps/Ubuntu/userx1

the script

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -x 
ck_for_OS()
{
if [[ -f /etc/slackware-version ]] ; then
	distroname=$(sed 's/Slackware /Slackware-/' /etc/slackware-version)
elif [[ "FreeBSD" =~ "$( awk 'NR==1{print $1}' /etc/*release | cut -d = -f2 | xargs)" ]] ; then
	distroname="$(uname -a | awk '{print $1 "-" $3}')"
	$HOME/bin/fbsd/mountdrives
else
	distroname=$( awk 'NR==1{print $1}' /etc/*release | cut -d = -f2 | xargs)
fi
sorce="$HOME"
dest="/media/storage/HomeBackUps/$distroname/"
if [[ -d /media/storage ]] ; then 
	mkdir -pv "$dest"
else
	echo "directory /media/storage not present .. exiting..."
	exit
fi

if [[ -f /etc/secondinstall ]] ; then
	dest="/media/storage/HomeBackUps/2nd-install-$distroname"
	sudo mkdir -p "$dest"
fi
}
go_4_distro()
{

	sudo rsync -av --files-from=$HOME/bin/fbsd/fbsd-backup-list / $dest
	sudo chown -R $USER:$USER "$dest"

	sudo rsync -av --files-from=$HOME/bin/linux-backup-list / $dest
	sudo chown -R $USER:$USER "$dest"
elif [[ "$distroname" =~ "Slackware" ]] ; then
	sudo rsync -av --files-from=$HOME/bin/linux-backup-list / $dest
	sudo chown -R $USER:users "$dest"

}

okay it was not making directory yesterday and when I added Ubuntu today it was doing the same thing, only I didn't work out my if statements on this today so I did not look at the error that close until I posted it now that works

Code:

c_me

 if mount | grep -q 'on /run/media/userx' &&  
	[[ -f /run/media/$USER/backup/bkup ]] ; then
		dest="/run/media/userx/backup/HomeBackUps/$distroname/"
		go_4_distro
		sync_me

	elif   mount | grep -q 'on /media/userx1' &&  
	[[ -f /media/$USER/backup/bkup ]] ; then
		dest="/media/userx1/backup/HomeBackUps/$distroname/"
		go_4_distro
		sync_me
	
	else
		echo "No usb inserted..."
		exit 
fi
