Suggest checking the archive name value to see if it's an IP to bypass that bit if needed. about teslausb HOT 4 CLOSED

I think the archiveservername can be specified as an IP address when using the setup-teslausb script. If an IP address is specified that address will be written into /etc/fstab and /root/bin/archiveloop.

Does that address this issue?

Should be, yep. Again, I didn't use the script for setup, but it did seem that this line could be problematic if you set an IP address for the archiveserver env var during setup:

archiveserverip="$(getent hosts $archiveserver | cut -d' ' -f1)"

If I'm misreading, feel free to close.

That line will set archiveserverip to the value of $archiveserver if $archiveserver contains an IP address.

With current code, if an IP is set as the archivename, the fstab is written out as ///ShareName, so it does seem like it's eating the IP address somehow.
