Handle multiple mount points when not in use

This sounds like a bug, it reminds me of the old stale nfs handles that didn't go away after the connection had stopped usually because of an open file. I would think there would be a cleanup after a timeout of the data structures.

When we try to add a new data connection which fails (either via REST API or via web interface) a new directory under /nfs-scanner/ gets created and stays even if the qtree can not get mounted. When we retry adding the same connection a new directory with a new uuid gets created

Expectation: When a data connection can not be created and mounted the directory /nfs-scanner/ should get removed. Given the large amount of qtrees at Airbus, more than 30000, we see a problem with lots of useless directories under /nfs-scanner. Every time a data connection can not get created a new directory is created. It is possible to keep /nfs-scanner/ clean of not working dirs?
