What the heck, why not keep it unmounted when not being used? Here's what I wrote as dirvish-backup.sh to be run from cron: MAILTO=rshepard TS=`date` mount /media/hd0 /sbin/dirvish-expire --quiet /sbin/dirvish-runnall --quiet umount /media/hd0 echo "$TS - Dirvish Backup Completed" | mail $MAILTO exit 0 Comments and suggestions wanted.
