So, um, I was reading about this last night, but I was sleepy and my eyes
glazed over... Please remind me, what is the exact procedire for turning
off the journaling? I boot to single user mode (from a live cd?) and
then what? Is it tunefs with some special option?
Just boot in single user mode so all the filesystems are unmounted or
mounted readonly. Then use 'tunefs -j disable /dev/...'. It will also
mention the name of the journal file, which can be deleted.
Use the latest net/rsync port, and enable the FLAGS option. I use these
options, copying each filesystem individually:
-axHAXS --delete --fileflags --force-change
Hummm... I guess that I have some non-current rsync installed. In the man
page I have there is no mention of any "--force-change" option. What does
it do?
"affect user/system immutable files/dirs". Probably only included in
the man page when the port is built with the FLAGS option set.
An additional note: the script that runs my rsync backup also modifies
the mirrored /etc/fstab to use the appropriate labels for the backup
filesystems.
