2015-03-19 It took eleven hours to copy a 380 GB large folder from the old to the new disk: # time rsync -axHAX foo /data/ real 693m28.001s user 344m0.402s sys 285m30.199s The large `user' time might be the rsync overhead. Maybe I should check the `user' to `sys' ratio with `cp -a' ... Currently, the other large folder is being copied. The smaller folders (together about the last third in size) are already done. For tomorrow, I expect the disk migration to be finished. After- wards I should start to develop an offline backup strategy. I have about 1 TB of data -- half of it is media stuff, one third are online backups, and the remainder is mixed stuff. How much is my ``real work'' data? I don't know, but I should check when I find the time. It's only a fraction. The only large amount of own original work are picture, all the rest is much too textual to be large. http://marmaro.de/lue/ markus schnalke
