NFSmountCheck

From RdiffBackupWiki

When backing up from an NFS-mounted file system, it can happen that the corresponding device on the NFS server is unmounted, but (only) the mount point is exported. In that case, rdiff-backup sees an empty file system and starts to create a large difference file to the previous backup, when the file system was visible. That situation could be avoided by adding an option --file-anchor <path/file>. The presence of <file/path> would be checked before the backup starts, and if negative, an error would be raised.

Why can't this go in the script used to run rdiff-backup?
