My old 12GB notebook disk was dying, so I got a new 60GB, and after a somewhat worrisome installation in my Vaio Z505LE, it works!
Now that I have all this nice space I decided to use some of it to backup the rest (a la <http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots>). I am using Reiserfs, and made an extra partition for my backups. I did my initial rsync --archive (excluding /proc, /dev, and the backup volume itself), and by the time it finished the backup was bigger than the original: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 15357664 4599040 10758624 30% / /dev/hda1 104380 38072 66308 37% /boot none 95312 0 95312 0% /dev/shm /dev/hda6 39068848 4774752 34294096 13% /root/backups [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# Does Reiserfs have differing overhead depending upon volume size? Is something else happening? Thanks, -kb -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
