It somehow changed 335G into 354G. Thinking the AppImages dir is full
of soft links of short names pointing at the long filename and had
turned the links into duplicates, that was the first thing I checked,
but it was all good soft-links, so where did the extra 19.4G's come
from? Can filesystem ext4's overhead account for that?
I suggest running rsync(1) with --dry-run, --log-file=FILE,
--itemize_changes, and whatever other options are needed to find the
differences. Please RTFM rsync(1) to choose your options. These look
useful:
--archive, -a (-rlptgoD)
--delete
Why --delete?
--hard-links, -H
--one-file-system, -x
--sparse, -S
or --sparse?
Well, my abundance of curiosity, may have killed the cat, but if I
understand how rsync's -a works, re-running the same command will only
update for the incoming email and any posts I've made while it was
running the first time. So the same command quoted last is now running
again. when it has exited, which it has now done in about 15 minutes
I'll edit fstab to remove the 60 gigs of swap on md1, remove the
existing mount of md0p1 as /home taking the raid10 completely out of the
system. And add the mounting of LABEL=homevolsdh1 as the /home partition
and reboot. In the event I have to re-install, the raid will still
contain my data and can be recovered.
I already have a dvd with the most recent netinstall burnt. All I have
to do is convince it to not install orca and brltty. Probably by
unplugging _all_ usb stuff except the keyboard and mouse buttons.
What would solve many of my problems is a bit of help from someone who
it running trinity to tell me how to install it on a system w/o any
installed gui which obviously disables synaptic. That leaves apt,
apt-get, and aptitude, unless there is a better way. aptitude is
uncontrollable, has fixed me once, has torn the system down to another
install 3 times so the odds are not in my favor.
So those fstab edits have been done, next is a reboot
