I have an LVM2 RAID5 array running as my tertiary in house backup, it has
been running on old reclamed 1TB drives for a couple of months now. I will
report back if I see any problems.

Michael,
Sure enough. Pulling out the SED book. Will create examples and send them to

Michael,
I wondered about doing something like this. I'll look into doing so.
Thanks,

Thanks. I forgot that rsync has advantages over cp.
Good advice and I'm t

Adding a salutation could be done with sed in your pipeline and a

In my experience cp(1) is fragile, which is why I use rsync(1) for anything
more than one or two files.
The following should work,
rsync -av /media/bkup1/* /mnt/usb1tb
This will create all the subdirectories from /media/bkup1 and copy all the
files onto the mounted USB drive.
Rsync is re-entrant,

Thanks, Michael.
Any thoughts on adding a salutation? (Not critical, but good if possible.)

Use -a twice.

In my MediaSonic Probox the backup1 drive is still formatted with xfs. Since
XFS throws an error now and then requiring me to umount the drive, run
xfs_repair, and remount it I want to replace the filesystem with ext4.
Currently, the drive holds 644GB. When I've tried to `cp -R /media/bkup1' to

I've used mailx to send newsletters to clients and prospects using this

Yep. I learned that Slackware does not have e2label, but does have tune2fs.
By trial-and-error I learned that the label name is double quoted so I used
