Subject: [bitfolk] Re Securing VPS
S too. However after logging in,
I found stale NFS handles, missing backup mountpoints, and references
to an incorrect (old?) IP address 212.13.194.71 for the backup NFS
server in /etc/fstab - issues which are all most likely my fault.

> I see this with just one of my two VPS too.


When I log in I'm seeing the list of backups, but it's also showing 0MB
used. I also can't mount the exports listed from the VPS. It tells me
access was denied at the server end. (VPS name xibo)

There was a bug found in the disk quota script last night. When the
backups were recently distributed out to three hosts instead of one
it appears that the script running on hosts that your backups
*aren't* on were left still able to reporting your usage - as zero.

The backups are still there and I expect this is a simple bug which I
will fix today.

Those of you who are experiencing difficulty in mounting your
backups should contact support as that is likely to be a different
issue.

Cheers,
Andy
