#How to fix "Cannot mount backup_folder because it is not empty" on ha-os
frank canopy
Home assistant keep writing to the local folder after the mount failed
This mean you can't mount it back
The /data/mount seams nowhere to be found
What you need:
- Advanced SSH & Web Terminal with priviled
open the webui
docker ps -a
after inspecting all container i found that the mount we are searching for is on the hassio_supervisor container
➜ ~ docker inspect -f '{{ .Mounts }}' hassio_supervisor
[{bind /run/systemd-journal-gatewayd.sock /run/systemd-journal-gatewayd.sock rw true rprivate} {bind /run/dbus /run/dbus ro false rprivate} {bind /run/supervisor /run/os rw true rprivate} {bind /run/udev /run/udev ro false rprivate} {bind /etc/machine-id /etc/machine-id ro false rprivate} **{bind /mnt/data/supervisor /data rw,slave true slave}** {bind /run/docker.sock /run/docker.sock rw true rprivate} {bind /run/containerd/containerd.sock /run/containerd/containerd.sock rw true rprivate}]
Open a shell
docker exec -it hassio_supervisor bash
go to the path of the backup
cd /data/mounts/
ls -al backup_folder

Your data are here, and the chmod don't stop ha from writing to it unmounted !
Move the backup to a tmp folder
mkdir tmp
mv backup_folder/* tmp/
Lock the mount-point
chmod 0000 backup_folder
ls -al
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Dec 19 21:36 .
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Dec 19 21:47 ..
d--------- 2 root root 12288 Dec 19 21:08 backup_folder
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 Dec 19 21:36 tmp
And now, retry mounting it from the webui, it should work.
ls -al
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Dec 19 21:36 .
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Dec 19 21:47 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Dec 19 21:08 backup_folder
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 Dec 19 21:36 tmp
You can the the permission are now OK and the size on disk is 0
Finally, move the backup back on the mount.
This will take more time because it will actually upload them to your NAS
mv tmp/* backup_folder/
Took me 45mn...
Gosh i like the ease of use of hassos when it work, but i hate it when it doesn't :( All i want is direct ssh access to the OS :(

Are you asking and answering your own question or what is going on here?
As you wish but read the note: https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/operating-system/debugging

Are you asking and answering your own question
yes, i asked, and didn't wait doing nothing. 45mn later i found my way to fixing it and writen a quick guide how to do it if someone have the same issue
I know discord isn't a forum ... but at least it's somewhere
As you wish but read the note:
noted, i'll look into it because this was way harder than i feel it should have been to fix

Your thread title only Hi :) so it can be easily overlooked and I figure it doesn't really sound interesting enough to click for most people.

How to fix "Cannot mount backup_folder because it is not empty" on ha-os

Someone called it (H)ead (A)che OS once and I tend to agree a lot of the time 🙂
frank canopy
:D
I won't lie, i really don't like docker, even if i know why and how it's useful.
But when it was time to migrate to something easier to maintain than core on debian ... with python release going quite fast ...
I'm happy to have HA-OS for my prod system (most of the time)
weak ferry
HAOS uses docker too: #general-archived message
The main issue with pure core are the upgrades.
frank canopy
yea, that's what i mean, i hate it because docker, i like it because it's work most of the time without worring about upgrade, unlike core on debian
