I have an issue for which I haven't been able to come up with a good solution. We have a backup solution whereby multiple disks, attached via USB, are used for backups. Normally, those disks are mounted automatically with udev, so backups can proceed normally. The problem comes in when the disks are not attached, and the backup process runs, writing to the same directory, which fills up the root disk.
What I'd like to have is the ability to designate specific directories as mount-only and deny all writes to those directories, if the disk normally mounted there is missing. Any ideas on how to do something like this? Currently, we're using the workaround of removing the mount point when the disk is unmounted, but that tends to be fragile, as we've already found out (where a directory didn't get removed and the root disk was filled). -- Tilghman -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
