Hello Dan, thank you for reporting this bug. I am triaging this as "Medium" for Ubuntu because it has "a moderate impact on a core application" but "Low" for Déjà Dup (upstream) as it does not affect any interaction in the application itself.
Some comments on the proposed solutions: Déjà Dup is unlikely to implement a new "Share root" because that goes against the policy of providing a tool for (new) standard users and keeping the interface as simple as possible. The second solution is much better in this regard as it hides the workaround from the user. Leaving Déjà Dup as "New" for now as I will have to check who does the mount in the end. ** Changed in: deja-dup Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1962593 Title: SMB Mount to backup directory prevents mounting parent directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/1962593/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
