Hello,

I have been running a backup script. The link to the full script is here.

I use the rdiff-backup option in the script. The script has been working fine until a few nights ago. I was doing general maintenance on the server. I performed an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. The other task I did was add a RAID 5 array to the server. I can't foresee the impact either of these would have on the backup script.

In any event, here is the error message I receive from one of the backups.

When I read the error message, I though the drive was not mounted. I have verified the drive is mounted and has space available. Can anyone shed some light on what I should do to fix the problem?
