I’d like to know what is the exact mechanism (implementation) used to defer mounting until after network interface is up when one uses _netdev option in /etc/fstab?
Does systemd alter this behavior?
Also, what does delay_connect option to sshfs provide what _netdev does not?
I’m trying to mount an ext3 file system from another Linux installation so that the user, not root, will have full access to all the files. (I really do need user to have access to those files, because I would like to use them from another computer via sshfs, and sshfs will only give the user’s access rights to the files.)
What is the best way (reliable, portable, etc.) to check if a given folder is on a mounted remote (nfs) filesystem within a shell script?
I can do df . to get some of the info on the mount that the current directory is in, and I can get all the info I want from mount. However I get to much info (info about other mounts). I can grep it down, but am wondering if there is a better way.
I have the following content in in /etc/udev/rules.d/81-external-disk.rules:
Asked on serverfault but didn’t get enough attention, so reposted here, with the hope some people here know the answer.
I have a Clonezilla installation on a USB stick and I’d like to make some modifications to the operating system. Specifically, I’d like to insert a runnable script into /usr/sbin to make it easy to run my own backup command to make backups less painful.
I read some resources about the mount command for mounting devices on Linux, but none of them is clear enough (at least for me).
Right now /tmp has some temporary files in it. When I mount my hard drive (/dev/sdc1) on top of /tmp, I can see the files on the hard drive. What happens to the actual content of /tmp when my hard drive is mounted? Is it possible to perform r/w operations on the actual content of /tmp while the hard drive is mounted?
