Issue Plesk updates fails when NFS backup is mounted

[solucionesuno]

Hi

I have a custom path DUMP_D in /etc/psa.conf to backups into NFS mounted folder.

Plesk updates with error

Stopping sw_engine service... done
chown: changing ownership of '/nfsbkp/host01/dumps/mysql.preupgrade.17.5.3-17.5.3.20171028-032820.dump.gz': Operation not permitted

It is documented here:

Plesk update or upgrade failed: ERROR while trying to backup MySQL database

but this articules propose an manually solution.

If there is not any way to solve it, is anyway to run a custom script before plesk update cron? to modify DUMP_D and an after update script to rever DUMP_D connected to my NFS backup folder?

If you perform a scheduled backup with a cron task, then you can create an additional cron task before the backup cron task, which will run script for changing the parameter value in /etc/psa/psa.conf

its a good idea. do you know what time plesk update are running to not overlap with it?

My answer is here Question - What hour does Auto Update runs?

Thanks for help @IgorG

So this solution:

If you perform a scheduled backup with a cron task, then you can create an additional cron task before the backup cron task, which will run script for changing the parameter value in /etc/psa/psa.conf

Is not valid for this problem because :

1) I can not sync the hours when pleks backups runs and pleks backup update. so they can overlap so my /etc/psa/psa.conf is not valid.

2) If i disable the NFS repsository when i am not doing a backup, muy customers can´t acces to them over the day.

any another idea?

I think in another solution.

Disable autoupdates in plesk panel.

Create an custom cron bash script to rename file psa.conf to local DUMP_D directory, update plesk, and revert this file.

With

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/autoinstaller update

plesk updates via SSH. is this comand the same that plesk runs to update microupdates and updats components for "general versions"?

No, there is another command:

# plesk installer --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --upgrade-installed-components
