RE: [webmin-l] CIFS mounts, Backups, ramblings

[Neal M. <Ne...@Mo...>]

Thanks Jamie.

BTW - I note the help for path to backup says separate multiple paths
with spaces - but you get an error message if you do that.  It seems to
be happy with line feeds though.


On the cifs mount/file system permissions, I tried that and it works -
kind of.  It will use the owner/group you indicate, but it still lets
any user create files.  This looks to me like a cifs.mount/Windows issue
though.  The docs say it will ignore these parameters if the
server/share doesn't understand ufs extensions...

That is a good idea .. I will look into adding this in the next Webmin
release.

Running the post-backup command before verifying looks like the real
bug..
I will fix this in the next version of Webmin, which will allow you to
setup
mount/unmount commands as necessary.

You should be able to set the file permissions on the mount so that only
root can write to it. This can be done with the 'File permissions' and
'User files are owned by' fields for the mount in the Disk and Network
Filesystems module.
