Oupsi :) First one (the one that takes two args) was a spelling error,
should have been 'mount_backup_volume()'. Thanx.



I've been running the script with the changes mentioned for about a

problem with the 'user.malin' volume needing rescue every now and then!
Weird, but good.

Thanx kwebb for the read...
