Re: [monit] Monitor mounts with monit

[Roman]

Hi Martin,

Thank you for your reply, yes this was the problem, I have monit v4.
And how do I add the statement to start the device if it was unmounted
accidentally?
Right now I have the following statements in my config file:

check device HardExtern with path /dev/sdd1
    start = "/bin/mount /dev/sdd1 /backup"
    stop = "/bin/umount /dev/sdd1"
    if space usage > 95% then alert
    if space usage > 98% then stop
    if inode usage > 90% then alert
    if inode usage > 98% then stop
    alert address@hidden

This statement will mount the hard drive if it is unmounted?

Thank you.
