... is possible. I understand the concept of mounting the filesystem. Additionally there can be a backup home directory which stays with the machine, on a hdd for example. I imagine that when the machine powers up without the removeable storage, the backup home directory is instated. When the removeable storage is connected, the backup is remounted as another directory in /home and the removeable is mounted as the home.
So for example, without the removeable present /home/peter is on the hdd. With the removeable present, /home/peter is on that and the hdd is /home/peter.bak with the same ownership and privilages as /home/peter. With udev, it might be accomplished with one or two scripts. This can't be an original idea. Is it available? Thanks, ...
