Is there an easy way to determine if a mounted filesystem is mounted as Read-Only or Read-Write? I was thinking just to pipe mount but I thought there might be an easier way.
I modified /etc/fstab.
I verified the new devices and I can mount them with the mount command.
How may I validate the modifications made to /etc/fstab ?
Is there any way to mount a remote CIFS/SMB/SAMBA share as a folder/directory and not as a drive letter. For example, I want this map:
\\Server\ShareName -> C:\Folder\ShareName
Instead of the usual map like this:
\\Server\ShareName -> Z:\
The server is Linux/Samba and the client is Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The closest I've found is being able to mount a local volume as a subfolder using the Windows disk manager, but it doesn't appear to handle remote CIFS shares (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307889).
What's the best way to check if a volume is mounted in a Bash script?
What I'd really like is a method that I can use like this:
if <something is mounted at /mnt/foo>
then
<Do some stuff>
else
<Do some different stuff>

We have moved mysql data directory to another disk, so now /var/lib/mysql is just a mount point to another partition. We set the owner of the /var/lib/mysql directory to mysql.mysql.
But everytime we mount the partition, the ownership changes to root.root. Because of this, we couldn't create additional MySQL database.
Our fstab entry:
/dev/mapper/db-db /var/lib/mysql ext3 relatime 0 2
How to change the owner of mount point to user other than root?
