Uhm, yeah. I do it. Cheap and dirty way:
--------------------- CUT HERE ---------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
MNTLIST="/mountpoint1 /mountpoint2 ..." # Build list of dirs to check
for MNT in $MNTLIST; do # For each directory...
RES=`mount | grep $MNT` # Perform the check
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then # Did we get a failure?
mount $MNT # Yes, remount the volume
fi
done
--------------------- CUT HERE ---------------------------------------
Save that as a shell script, say "/usr/local/bin/chkmnt.sh", chown it
as root:root and chmod it to 755. Finally, add an entry to root's
crontab:
* * * * * /usr/local/bin/chkmnt.sh >/dev/null 2>&1
which will run it once a minute. You could add things such as touching
a file on each directory to verify the thing is writable and such. It's
up to you.
