I have a very simple trick here.
If (say) /srv/backup/removable-hdd is always meant to be a mountpoint,
umount /srv/backup/removable-hdd # make sure you edit the
parent filesystem, not the root of the mounted filesystem sudo chmod 0
/srv/backup/removable-hdd # stop non-root users writing to it sudo chattr
+i /srv/backup/removable-hdd # stop root writing to it mount
/srv/backup/removable-hdd # put things back how they should be
That's a good trick.
Another thing I've done is mount a tmpfs on /mnt with a small number for
size=. That means that people or scripts can create /mmt/whatever to mount
things but if anyone tries to copy gigs of data there it won't happen.
Thanks Russell
You got me thinking that if I set /mnt on a very small partition, I'd
save myself re-doing all my partitions with every fresh insatll, and
save having to remember how I did Trent's and your suggestions.
Thanks again All
