(Get the code!)
Hi, I've found a workarrond to solve this problem, I'll try to explain the temporary solution that I have used.
- The first thing that I made was set the mount path for my esternal hd into gnome (/media/hdusb)
- The second was create a link into my /home directory with mount directory for my external disk as target
$ sudo ln -s /media/hdusb/backup /home/TimeVault
- At the end I changed the config for timevault setting the backup directory with the link that I had created in the second step ( /home/TimeVault).
With this configuration, timevault doesn't start when the disk is not mount, and if I plug the disk I have to restart the service to get timevault working again.
