[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup v2] api: enhance directory existence check

[Markus Frank <m.frank@proxmox.com>]

If a directory exists on the specified path,
it now also checks whether the directory is empty and not already mounted.

Previously, if a directory were deleted and a directory with the same name
would be created, the old check prevented the creation even though the
directory could be used as a mount point.
