You can make the mount point unwritable: chmod a-w /local_dir. This
won't affect the permissions when the filesystem is mounted. Of course
if the copy process runs as root, this won't work -- root's privileges
override the directory permissions. In that case, you can set the
directory's immutable attribute with chattr.
I think Gentoo does something like this. I went through and did this
to all my mount points to avoid the disappearing file syndrome.
