lets say "/data" partition?
I know that i can prevent the user from accessing the directory, but i preffer to hide it from the user.



is there any option like that?
Thanks

  • You could hide the folder if you put it below another folder where user no execute rights, but I don't think you can totally hide a partition: e.g. lsblk, mount or df work without root and show the partitions.

  • Hello, thanks for the quick answer @RoVo. yes im talking about mount or partition ( the one that we can hide , if possible) currently im looking for any solution , my problem is not about where to store the data (partition/mount) but to hide it from non-sudo user

  • You might want to investigate mount namespaces. This won't give you the sudo vs non-sudo but it does let you "hide" a mount, making them only available to a particular group of processes.
