You can always use cable clamps similar to this thing:

Put the padded end around your seat stay & use the screw eyelet as a
rack mount. Just make sure you get a clamp that is the same inner
diameter as the outer diameter of your seat stay (assuming it's round,
though I guess you could bend the clamp...). Then you're not limited
to only using seatpost mounted bags, which don't hold much.
This is also a way to mount fenders on seatstays (or a fork) w/ no
eyelets...
