Thats my assumption too Jon. But when I put the 2T drive in
as /amandatapes, I expanded the size of the vtapes, and its not skipped
to the next tape since. That was 7 or 8 tapecycles back up the log. The
lady is almost civilized now. :)
I just added the /home tree of another machine as I now have one
delegated to running cura and openscad so I've a one stop src to drive a
3d printer which is making me a magazine stuffer so that 6.5 Creedmoor
shells might feed thru a P-17 action which is what old AT&T is built on,
but after wearing out 4 barrels chambered for the Ackley-improved 30-06
since I built it in the '60's, I screwed a 6.5 barrel in it 2 years back
and chambered it for the Creedmoor, a bit easier on the old mans
shoulder since it will be 87 in a couple weeks. But the shorter, fatter
shell made a single shot out of it, so I'm trying to fix it...
Since that machine isn't surrounded by human comfort first furniture, I
log into it from here to program OpenSCAD via an ssh -Y login. Its
running debian buster and can run the latest AppImage of OpenSCAD
whereas this machine is still running stretch and won't run the latest
OpenSCAD. But I am preparing to put bullseye on this one, and have a
large pocketfull of 1T SamSung 870 SSD's I'm going to use as a raid 6 or
raid 10, for everything but /boot & swap with a separate 1/2T 860
SamSung drive for /boot & swap.
So in another 2 or 3 weeks I should have bullseye up and running here, so
the folks on the debian list will quit giving me hell for running old
stuff. But with the OpenSCAD exception its running very well.
I hope this finding you and Gundy in good health.
My Dee passed from COPD last Pearl Harbor Day, so I'm alone now. And the
place is keeping me busy. Replaceing split rail fencing that has to be
rebuilt every 10 years with vinyl, that sort of stuff. The shasta white
shingles I put on in 2010 after the direcho remodeled the place have
lost the white, running the AC bill way up, so thats gotta be redone
next spring. We'll see how I feel then.
Take care you two.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
