Hi All and happy new year,
Via a cron job a USB disk is mounted on a Centos 6.4 machine for backup and dismounted after. I've noticed this failing. See below, the backup directory that was in /mnt had disappeared, so creating it again as follows...

What does mount say is mounted after running your backup script? An explanation is that the script mounts something directly on /mnt and it's still mounted after the script runs. Unmount that (there may be several if you've been playing with it for a while).
