How to set up a USB Device in a way crashplan can use it as a Destination

Hey,

is there a easy way to create a btrfs filesystem on a USB 3.0 Harddrive and automount it whenever its pluged in so crashplan can Backup, lets say Disk 1 ,whenever i plug in Backup-Disk 1 (incrementally).

Currently my USB HDD only shows up as /dev/sdd with 0 Bytes of space (its not yet formated).

See here for a start.

If you want to use it inside a container, you have to restart the Docker service after mounting. This can be accomplished by this script:

#!/bin/bash
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
## Available variables: 
# AVAIL      : available space
# USED       : used space
# SIZE       : partition size
# SERIAL     : disk serial number
# ACTION     : if mounting, ADD; if unmounting, REMOVE
# MOUNTPOINT : where the partition is mounted
# FSTYPE     : partition filesystem
# LABEL      : partition label
# DEVICE     : partition device, e.g /dev/sda1
# OWNER      : "udev" if executed by UDEV, otherwise "user"
# PROG_NAME  : program name of this script
# LOGFILE    : log file for this script

case $ACTION in
  'ADD' )
    /etc/rc.d/rc.docker restart
    echo "Added"
  ;;

  'REMOVE' )
    /etc/rc.d/rc.docker stop
    sleep 15 && /etc/rc.d/rc.docker start &
    echo "Removed"
  ;;
esac

That Plugin scared me away cause i feared i had to do my own script (im a Windows Guy).

I tried it out and it actualy sees the drive (by Model Number), and after smashing my head against the table i also found the settings to enable the destructive mode

Sry for the stupid question, i was paralised by the scripts...

Thanks for the autorestart srcipt
