Remove disk space hard minimum

If a disk fails to mount, its mount directory will be empty, the subdirectory will be missing and docker refuses to start the container (if you are using volume mount type ‘bind’).

If you use the root directory directly and the disk fails to mount, the root mount directory (/mnt/yourdisk) will still exist, docker will start the container with an empty data directory.

Yes @Derkades, that’s what I understood.

However I was wondering what would happen if the mount succeeded (and the docker started successfully), but then failed in the middle of execution (for instance if the USB cable is pulled out by mistake, or if the disk shuts down for whatever reason).
