People who keep media, shared files or backups on a network server face more than a missing folder when that server goes offline: a dead share could freeze low-level system services, trigger watchdog resets or leave a local directory accepting data meant for the server. Stefan Agner’s Supervisor redesign closes all three failure paths.
The new design puts an automatic mount trigger in front of each share. NFS and CIFS can reconnect an existing mount, while a torn-down mount is tried again on the next access after the server returns. Supervisor still checks status and dismisses the repair notice after recovery.
During an outage, the automount keeps the path covered, so writes fail instead of silently filling local storage. The redesign retains special handling for backups and restores, and mdegat01 reviewed and approved the substantial change.
