Well, not directly. GDM runs as the gdm user, and so wouldn't have root permissions. Now, if there were a set uid script that did this, that could do it. I guess the question is whether it's worth moving this from an init script to a patch for GDM with a set uid script that did the mounting. That way when GDM sees the out of disk space condition, it would then fix it by doing the mount overflow. I wouldn't see any harm in that, assuming there was a reasonable security audit. -- Unable to login when disk space is exhausted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/35217 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
