handle problematic mounts gracefully

Open markus2330 opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

Currently it is possible to mount over existing data or mount in between specifications, making validation not work.

We should have more checks that rejects mounting in such cases. Then we should also introduce a --force command-line (maybe with parameter what exactly should be forced), so that people that know what they do can easily circumvent the checks.

Alternatively, we could import the data during mounting.

Project would be together with #1306

@flo91 even preferable is to migrate old config into new mountpoints. Only if this cannot be done safely (e.g. some metadata is lost), we should fail (unless --force was specified).

I mark this stale as it did not have any activity for one year. I'll close it in two weeks if no further activity occurs. If you want it to be alive again, ping by writing a message here or create a new issue with the remainder of this issue. Thank you for your contributions :sparkling_heart:
