| head_victim | A dry run rsync to a fresh location gives me a total size of 463GB, an accumulative rsync gives me 850GB. I'm using rsync -vtlrh source destination - any suggestions? | 08:31 |
|---|---|---|
| head_victim | Oh and I've thrown a --delete in there as well to no avail. | 08:31 |
| head_victim | For the record --ignore-errors did the trick. | 09:21 |
| sagaci | head_victim: how long did it take to sync | 09:24 |
| head_victim | It took bugger all (came back to the pc within 30 mins) and the extra 400GB was gone | 09:25 |
| head_victim | The 850GB collection built up over months. | 09:26 |
| sagaci | ah ok | 09:27 |
| head_victim | I've noticed aarnet has slowed to about 2.2MB/s these days though. | 09:28 |
| head_victim | First few seconds ramp up over 4 but within 5 - 10 seconds its back to 2.2 - 2.4 | 09:28 |
| sagaci | yeah, i'm down to 1.5 | 09:34 |
| head_victim | I'd say the speed is there because I haven't noticed any drop off anywhere else, maybe it's being throttled somewhere I'd say. | 09:43 |
| sagaci | bigpond, i'd say | 09:44 |
| head_victim | Or aarnet suddenly having a massive load of Telstra clients. | 09:48 |
| sagaci | yeah, maybe | 09:50 |
| head_victim | I wonder how back "a few bad sectors" is on a SMART test for a 2tb drive. | 11:17 |
| gorilla | head_victim: I'd be backing up the drive and replacing it. But that's more my level of paranoia. | 11:29 |
| head_victim | Yeah, I'm working on backing it up now. | 11:30 |
| head_victim | It's showing a bad sector count of 79 on a 2tb drive | 11:31 |
| head_victim | It's only been powered on 1.2 years | 11:31 |
| head_victim | gorilla: would a fsck help at all? | 11:32 |
| head_victim | Just researching the topic on google and working out if it is worth using the drive at all | 11:32 |
| sagaci | head_victim, is it your ubuntu archive drive? | 11:54 |
| head_victim | sagaci: that's one of the things on it. No real problem with that though, I can get that again any time I need it. | 11:54 |
| head_victim | It's also my primary network drive for documents, etc. | 11:54 |
| sagaci | I wouldn't share that kinda stuff on the same drive | 11:55 |
| head_victim | I do semi-regular backups so just doing a manual rsync of everything I can't replace elsewhere to put my mind at ease. | 11:55 |
| head_victim | It's only shared across the lan. No security threat. | 11:55 |
| head_victim | On a side note, I'm getting almost as much linked in spam on mailing lists as I'm getting other spam on my email account :/ | 11:56 |
| sagaci | like I mean, I know for myself, I'd have separate drives for ubuntu backup/archive and a separate one for personal stuff | 11:59 |
| head_victim | I was meant to, but that got sidetracked learning how to correctly build the server to run it all. | 12:00 |
| head_victim | So the personal data sits on raid 10 and the mirror on an external drive. | 12:00 |
| sagaci | ah ok | 12:01 |
| head_victim | And then anything not easily replaceable rsynced on a weekly cron to another network drive. | 12:01 |
| head_victim | And then I also burn some DVDs for semi-static data like photos, etc. | 12:02 |
| head_victim | I think that's a decent enough backup plan for a home network, just don't want to ever have to test it. | 12:02 |
| sagaci | i'm going to see if I can hack around on testdrive to include sync/launches of lubuntu daily isos | 12:03 |
| head_victim | I would but that's metered data :/ | 12:03 |
| head_victim | Unless you can convince aarnet to mirror dailies as well ;) | 12:04 |
| sagaci | well it's 700mb straight up but then it just sync the changes | 12:04 |
| sagaci | which is convenient | 12:04 |
| head_victim | Ah zsync the changes? | 12:04 |
| sagaci | yeah, zsync | 12:06 |
| sagaci | otherwise falls back to curl/wget | 12:06 |
| head_victim | Nice work. I'm concentrating on getting the basics right. My previous approach was leaving gaps in my knowledge so now I'm sticking strictly to a book to work through. | 12:09 |
| head_victim | Trying to plug the holes so I can do things right instead of just the quickest way I could find on google | 12:10 |
| sagaci | head_victim, is an email saying sunday week too confusing to send out now | 12:21 |
| head_victim | Nah just give the time and date and a shortlist of topics to try and generate conversation on them | 12:22 |
