Here is how I prevent data accidentally being written to a unmounted mountpoint. You must first ensure that "/example/mountpoint" is an empty directory. Then chattr -V +i /example/mountpoint so for your example: chattr -V +i /home/me/myth I started doing this for all my mountpoints after I read about the immutable bit. See: man chattr Re detecting if a disk is mounted, in older versions of fedora, the package sysvinit-tools provided the '\bin\mountpoint' command which implements this. Try: man mountpoint to see if it is available on your system. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
