btw: It would of course be possible to have the unmounted But the problem with that is in specific, that I cannot use it with SSHFS and it's Also, IMO it's generally rather unclean to generate a whole directory try which is conceptually outside the own "working directory" (i.e. what’s specified by E.g. other daemons like postgresql wouldn't do that.

Hey.
When one has a bucked config like:
Thanos, as of now, apparently creates an of these directories if they're non-existent.
It would be nice if it could just not do this (but only create directories below
directory:
as needed).The reason is that one might e.g. use something like
/mounpoint/dir
anddir
only existing when some other filesystem is actually mounted on/mounpoint
and if not, Thanos should rather fail to write (and e.g. not fill up the system’s root fs).If it however creates any missing directories, it would simply create
/mounpoint/dir
on the unmounted mountpoint directory.Thanks,
Chris.
