[NextCloudPi] nc-backup, chown: changing group of... Operation not permitted

I have a Raspi with NCP (192.168.0.10) and I try to make backup copies in a USBHDD in another raspi in the same lan (192.168.0.11)

I have a USBHDD with BTRFS format (I have previously formatted BTRFS with nc-format) in 192.168.0.11
md /ncp-backup
mount the unit in 192.168.0.11
sudo mount -t btrfs /dev/sda1 /ncp-backup
sudo chmod -R 777 /ncp-backup

mount the unit in 192.168.0.10
md /mnt/ncp-backup
**sudo mount 192.168.0.11:/ncp-backup /mnt/ncp-backup **

As your data and backup are btrfs you should use NCPā€™s nc-snapshot-auto
to create snapshots on RPi1 and then use nc-snapshot-sync
to backup the snapshots to RPi2

md is a dos command, itā€™s Linux equivalent is mkdir

This can not work like that. It needs protocol from NFS or Samba and user credentials. As described here Or search here for more ways of doing it. No need to if you use NCPā€™s snapshot tools tho :wink:

I was using the [nc-backup], because the [NCPā€™s snapshot] does not work for me.

It tells me that the unit mounted on 192.168.0.10 (NCP) is not a BTRFS system.
/mnt/ncp-backup is not in a BTRFS filesystem

Iā€™ll go back to check the ā€œmountā€ of units; again :frowning: THX.

md ā€” I was wrong to write mkdir

Iā€™ve tried again:
I have a USBHDD with BTRFS format (I have previously formatted BTRFS with nc-format) in 192.168.0.11
mkdir / ncp-backup
I modified the / etc / fstab adding:
/ dev / sda1 /ncp-backup btrfs defaults, autodefrag, compress = lzo 0 0
sudo chown -R 777 / ncp-backup

In the NCP:
mkdir / mnt / ncp-backup
mount -rw 192.168.0.11:/ncp-backup / mnt / ncp-backup
sudo chown -R 777 / ncp-backup

The result is the same:
[nc-backup]:
chown: changing group of '/mnt/ncp-backup/nextcloud-bkp_20190509_1557393495.tar.gz': Operation not permitted Abort ...
:frowning:

I make touch from 192.168.0.10
/ mnt / ncp-backup
touch NCP

I make touch from 192.168.0.11
/ ncp-backup
touch Rapsi
and the files are created and seen both den x.11 and x.10

I tried but it returnsā€¦
