I have always worried that this could happen -- especially since I have used both NFS-mounted volumes and USB-disks which could all fail to mount. As a preventive patch, I added code to BackupPC that checks for the presence of the pc, pool, and cpool directories. Such code is trivial to add and I have long thought that such code should be added to make sure that BackupPC is saving it's gigabytes and terabytes in the right volume. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
