How to avoid the CIFS directio option with Acronis Backup for Linux

Thread needs solution

Hi!

With newer Linux Kernels (>3.6) the CIFS/SMB mounting option "directio" is deprecated, but Acronis Backup for Linux is still using this option even in the lastest version Build: #38774

A backup (or other access to a SMB-Share) will fail:

acrocmd backup disk --disk=1 --loc=//$SERVER/$SHARE/--credentials=$USER,$PASS

An error occurred while executing the command.
Fehler: 0x1510008
$module = "acrocmd_lx_38573"
Tag: 0x7A8E520180FDC065

Kernel-Log: CIFS: Unknown mount option "directio"

With Linux Kernel 3.2 for example or local mounted SMB shares everything works well.

How can I avoid Aconis for Linux using the CIFS/SMB directio option?

Thanks

Michael Simon

Hi!
Try the latest update (Acronis Backup Update 4).

If it does not help, workaround is to insert "export NOCIFSDIRECTIO=1" into file /usr/sbin/acronis._mms:

#!/bin/bash
export NOCIFSDIRECTIO=1

# other file content
