Submitted by Ulrich Frederiksen on Mon, 02/22/2010 - 2:18am

Hi i have problems with the backup feature of my redmine jumpbox, when I try to configure it I get this error:

[mntent]: line 14 in /etc/fstab is bad [mntent]: line 15 in /etc/fstab is bad [mntent]: line 16 in /etc/fstab is bad

I have no idea how to find the above file, I would like to know what´s in line 14-16

please help a jumpbox/linux novice

backup issue with redmine

Hello Ulrich,
This is usually the result of an error configuring backups. If you enable SSH on the JumpBox, then SSH into the JumpBox as the admin user you can edit the /etc/fstab with the following command:

sudo nano /etc/fstab

delete those lines, save the file and try setting up backup again. We have a documentation website that explains a little bit about SSH:

http://wiki.jumpbox.com/doc/runtime#Shell.2FConsole_Access

Also, what backup settings are you using (exclude any passwords)? Because its possible that there is something in your backup settings that is causing this problem.

Hi Austin

thank you very much - I had tried to enter a path with a space in it, before realizing that this is not allowed (I need to learn some linux) clearing the lines in etc/fstab fixed the problem.

Glad you got it figured out. And thanks for pointing me at the problem. The admin portal should be checking for things like that and warn users, rather than letting them stick things that don't work in there. I have filed an internal ticket for this issue.
