good idea, I didn't have the -l option. Now I run rsync like this:
sudo /usr/bin/ionice -c 3 /usr/bin/rsync -aAlx --exclude suspend_file
--delete --delete-excluded --delete-before --partial --human-readable /
"${MOUNTPT}" >>"${LOGFILE}"
Note the "-l" AND "--delete-before".
However I'm STILL filling up the second drive for some unknown reason.
I've added "--exclude /usr/portage/distfiles" to the rsync options,
since there's no need to back up my distfiles, but I'd like to know why
it's not working...
