With vtapes this is true. I keep track of overall drive usage with df, so that 2T drive hovers at about 80%, but is falling about 1% a run because one of the machines onboard video died and its dle's are commented out ATM. I have a couple boxes of old i5 dells optiplexes on a truck from pcliquidaters that should fix that if I don't fall over first. S/B here about Wednesday. ;-) Blank 250G hd's in them, junk drives I expect but I have more of that 240Gig SSD waiting on them. So they will get that same 240G SSD installed to put LinuxCNC and a debian buster base on them. I'm beatingthe hell out of SSD's on one of my rpi4b's, moved everything like swap off the 64G u-sd, and am running the pi as a buildbot, making a new set of debs out of linuxcnc from github, master branch quite a few times a week. After changing the name on the usb3 to sata adapter cable last spring, no problems since. Obviously I'm pleased. :-) > I does use up another number in your vtape roster, but those seem > to me to be free - just increase your vtape count and number a few > more. > > Odd about the holding disk trash preventing further backups. > I find months old stuff in my holding disk, and only clear it out > occasionally when the mood arises. I may have an autoflush in my config someplace. And that seems to be broken, so I have to clean house before the next run or it somehow mucks it up. Not to mention the constat flushing uses about 1% of the big drive for everytime it tries. The holding disk is an SSD of 240G. Swapping it in for the spinning rust 1T I was using, cut the backup time in half! I wish I could afford to replace the spinning rust, all of it, with SSD's. I could use more of the 240's and will, everyplace but this machine. It has around 450G used ATM on another 2T. Take care and stay well Deb. And from what I've read, the mRNA vaccine (Phizer,Moderna) is deadly after the 2nd shot, I suspect by plan. Exposed to the Wuhan flu after the 2nd shot, your immune system is primed to kill you from organ failure. Since Bill Gates paid for that vaccine, on purpose would not surprise me. Load up your daily pilltainer with A,C,D bone food, selenium, resveratrol, and in my case since I'm a type II diabetic taking metformin by the gram a meal, lots and lots of B12. If your urine isn't yellow, you aren't getting enough. B12 is water soluble so you can't OD on it. It just flushes on thru the kidneys. I value my friends or I wouldn't be on this soap box about skipping the vaccine until we get a non-mRNA version. > Deb Baddorf > Fermilab Copyright 2019 by Maurice E.
