"Read-only file system" error while trying to backup
I'm evaluating Knox for my company and on the first of the software I ran into problems
"
An internal error prevented Knox from backing up the vault.
The vault backup couldnt be backed up. The copy process ended with the error status 1:
ditto: /Volumes/backup/backup 2010-07-09 12.41.sparseimage: Read-only file system
"
$ cd /Volumes/backup/
$ ls -ld .

Hello ilya, welcome to the forums!
The error message looks like Knox is having troubles writing to your /Volumes/backup folder. Your `ls -ld` shows you have an extended attribute on the folder (the @ sign indicates this) and some attributes can prevent new folders from being created, etc. Perhaps this is the case here. Try listing the ACL rules with the -e@ flag:
[code]ls -le@ /Volues/backup[/code]
Post the output of that command here and we'll try to help more.Flag 0
