Hi John,
I have a drive with 2 main partitions; I plug it into a USB port and
run a script that chooses one of the partitions (using a "last
touched" test on a dummy file).
Does the script mount the chosen partition? Or could the script be
running the rsync before something else has mounted it?
No. Ubuntu automounts removable drives. I'll try disabling this.
