One other suggestion: If you mount a backup drive on /media/wdp8/, have your backup program start writing to /media/wdp8/backup/, a dir that exists on the drive but not on your underlying filesystem. If the directory doesn't exist, it ought to exit with an appropriate error rather than filling your root filesystem. -dsr- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
