Cannot use /mnt/backups with OVH ftpback – user chown not allowed

Dominik

Hi,
I'm trying to mount /mnt/backups on mount from OVH's ftpback service. I think the problem is that OVH doesn't allow chown operations on the mounted directory – I can write files, but I can't change their ownership.

Because of this, orch fails with the error:
orchd::error: Returning internal server error to the API: Error { kind: Internal, detail: None, msg: Some("Home dir chown failed") }

Is there a way to make this work with Enhance? Should I use CIFS instead, or is there a workaround?

Thanks!

Dominik backups needs ext4 or btrfs format , i dont think OVh offers that :/ its better to get once of their kimsufi servers with sata and use as backup server

Where do you come up with this information? Probably best to not reply to something stating what appears to be facts when you are just guessing.

@Dominik the user above really doesn't know what they are talking about. Enhance doesn't have a file system requirement for backups per se, but it does require a file system that supports hard links. It may be, in your case, a permissions issue (I don't think so) or a file system issue.. possibly NFS is used by OVH.

I suggest you use a "properly" mounted filesystem. EXT4 is usually the default file system in that case, but there are reports on these forums that ZFS works as well.

xyzulu i understood he tried to mount on the backup server role? OVH is using nfs
