I'm using an external drive with BackupPC on CentOS 7. I currently have a
mount entry like this in fstab:
/dev/disk/by-label/backuppc4 /var/lib/BackupPC ext4
noauto,rw 0 0
This means I must manually mount the drive and then start the backuppc
service.
Is there a way to set up hotplugging so that the drive is mounted if
present at boot time but doesn't stop the boot if it's not present or
otherwise fails? I see the fstab nofail option. Will that do what I want?
Is there a way to set up the backuppc service (through systemd) so that it
starts if and only if the drive is present, or starts if the drive is
plugged in later?
