Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Re: rdiff-backup remounts partition readonly?

[Christos Tachtatzis]

Dear Dean and Troels, 

 Thanks a lot for your responses.

my fstab entry for the drive is
/dev/sdb1               /mnt/usbdrive           ext3    noauto 0 0

But as you both said, I have some errors at the filesystem



I have an error in my system log as follows. Running e2fsck resulted
to the error below. Is it safe to ignore this error? What I can do to
recover?

Thanks a lot again! I will try also to google as well to see what I
can do about it.


Best regards,
Christos
