SuperEngineerq/ re backups & file systems...12:33
SuperEngineerlast night I deliberately erased external backup disc & started again from scratch...12:34
SuperEngineerI did a straight partition copy for whole of Ubuntu partion - created another partition as btrfs12:35
penguin42ok12:35
SuperEngineerthe partition being backed up [on a per folder basis via rsync] is ext4...12:36
SuperEngineershould restores be ok with that? [ext4 -> btrfs -> ext4 on restore if needed]12:36
penguin42yes12:37
* SuperEngineer crosses fingies12:37
SuperEngineerthanks Pendulum12:37
penguin42using something like rsync shouldn't care what the underlying FS is12:37
SuperEngineerwhoops!12:37
SuperEngineerthanks penguin4212:37
penguin42SuperEngineer: You might want to try btrfs snapshots as well12:37
SuperEngineerpenguin42: que?12:38
SuperEngineeron an external disc?12:39
penguin42SuperEngineer: You can tell btrfs to snapshot the entire filesystem and then carry on, then at some point later you can look at the old versions at the point of the snapshot12:39
penguin42SuperEngineer: It helps if you're doing regular backups but don't notice you deleted something until after you're next backup12:41
SuperEngineerah ha, I knew btrfs could do that but wondered about the viabilty of the theory of using that for an external drive which is only plugged at backup time12:41
penguin42no, I don't think that makes any difference12:41
SuperEngineercool :)12:41
penguin42there are some other scripts that work like Apple time machine- they use a set of links to keep multiple old versions visible on any unix like filesystem12:42
* penguin42 doesn't know the names of that one12:42
SuperEngineerlol12:43
dwatkinsMagnets! http://sugru.com/magnet-kit12:57
MartijnVdSdwatkins: ooh!12:59
dwatkinsYeah MartijnVdS - I signed up; sadly it's not going to be available before christmas.13:00
dwatkinsGives me some ideas for the Sugru I already have, though.13:00
MartijnVdSdwatkins: I've used sugru with neodymium magnets before13:00
MartijnVdSit's great :)13:00
penguin42so that's just a pack of strong magnets?13:01
MartijnVdSyeah, you can get cheap ones on ebay13:02
dwatkinspenguin42: no, it cmes with Sugru as well, and the magnets are carefully chosen and have dimples in them so you can be sure to get them the right way around13:02
MartijnVdSjust 1cm or 2cm discs (like several 5p coins stacked)13:02
dwatkinsand they shouldn't move too easily because of the dimples13:02
MartijnVdSdwatkins: those are useful ideas :)13:03
penguin42ah13:03
dwatkinsI have Sugru on my laptop power supply to stop the cable getting worn out, and on the back of my Nintendo DS to hold it more easily.13:04
dwatkinsoh, and on the corners of my bed so I don't scratch myself as I walk past13:04
MartijnVdSI have it on my old laptop, the original rubber bits fell off13:04
MartijnVdSand on my teapot, so it doesn't scratch my table13:04
gordonjcpI haven't played with sugru yet at all13:04
dwatkinsIt's like playdough for adults and chilrden ;)13:04
dwatkins(don't eat it)13:05
MartijnVdSJust upgraded the zippers on my bag, so it's easier to recognise on the baggage caroussel ;)13:05

MartijnVdSdwatkins: probably13:13
MartijnVdSdwatkins: have you seen the reaction video, where she re-watches "Friday"?13:13
MartijnVdSdwatkins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5nfV3S7sqI13:14
dwatkinsI was just about to watch that...13:14
dwatkinsWhy do people say "What's up?" on youtube videos?13:15
MartijnVdSpeople are strange.13:15
dwatkinsat least she doesn't take herself too seriously - that probably comes later, with the entourage and the fame13:18

dwatkinsI'm expecting to get my bear early next year.13:24
MartijnVdSso.. next month?13:28
dwatkinsmaybe, they had some problems with the choice of microphone, so couldn't delivery by christmas13:28
dwatkinsthey were very apologetic, but said they wanted to make a good quality product13:29
dwatkins"Sorry I could not make Christmas. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. To let you down, I am so sorry. I will deliver you a toy I am proud of in the New Year. "13:29
