Title: Umount vboxsf shared folders?
Post by: moB on February 25, 2010, 08:18:11 PM

I would like to umount vboxsf shared folder before shutting down to prevent the files from being part of the tc backup.

Mounted with: mount.vboxsf shared /home/tc/remote

Have tried umounting with: umount -t vboxsf shared, umount -t vboxsf /home/tc/remote, but no joy )-:

No command umount.vboxsf found, so that's a no-go...

Anyone have any success with this, or is it not do-able?

Thanks!

No need to specify filesystem with umount

Code: [Select]

sudo umount /home/tc/remoteworks for me

I'm not sure since I don't use backup myself, but I'd thought adding a line with home/tc/remote to the /opt/.xfiletool.lst file would exclude that directory from the backup. I guess this way the timely umount would not be required.

BTW, AFAIK you don't need 'sudo' for the 'umount /home/tc/remote' command.

Thanks very much for the tips!

This also seems to be of use:

Exclude from backup. A simple idea which also eluded me.

Thanks again for the quick replies!

If you look in /opt/.xfiletoollst you will already see "home/tc/mnt"  I use that dir as a base for all my network and vbox share mounting to avoid backup issues, it also makes sense  ;)
