Hi, could I make a hugely nieve user request :-)
Would it be possible to add a new mount option to everything?
New mount option 'com' = "create on mount" (implied remove on unmount).
Example fstab entry /mounts/amountpoint LABEL=notalwayshere ext4,com
# ls /mounts # mount /mounts/amountpoint # ls /mounts amountpoint # umount /mounts/amountpoint # ls /mounts #
The idea is to create a mount point directory (one level only) if does not exist when an FS is mounted, umount would remove it when an FS is unmounted (assuming it was empty) otherwise generate a warning.
As the 'com' flag would need to carried with the mount I assume the logic would have to be handled in mount() and umount() call itself ?
I can see issues if the mount point directory is read only or similar, but I am sure most cases could be handled with just a warning.
Many thanks, Jon
