Is there a way to make sure the target filesystem is mounted?
The problem is that a recent reboot failed to mount the backup
filesystem and so when rdiff-backup ran, it filled up the root file
system....
Not sure if that is a job best done inside rdiff-backup. How about
simply wrapping rdiff-backup in a (shell-)script which makes the
necessary checks before running the backup?
What about the cheap,good,reliable solution: Don't back up to the root
of the mounted FS, but to a sub-subdirectory.
(example:
Your backup FS: /mnt/backup
Backup to: /mnt/backup/machine1/backup
)
Then rdiff-backup will fail when the FS is not mounted. (assuming you
haven't specified --create-full-path. Don't!)

Sounds like a good tip...thanks! :)
