it’s as painful to setup as lvm in some respects but zfs beats the pants off of lvm after that. snapshots and backups become _too_ easy.

btrfs can’t seem to get its poo poo together and the zfs licensing stuff is so stupid. supposedly there is some internal traction to relicense it but lol oracle.

even if it were licensed correctly, it's an abandoned product

don't just make things up, dd from ro is fine. the issue people have with lvm is that it's overengineered and convoluted as gently caress if you just use it on a laptop/desktop harddrive. first PVs, then LVs, and _then_ the loving fs

screw that

dd from a remounted ro filesystem is not fine. it is not possible to validate that nothing is writing to the filesystem without actually unmounting it.

(you can, of course, safely backup a filesystem that was originally mounted ro, as nothing would ever have had the opportunity to start writing to it)

Tankakern posted:

but why not just use rsync or tar for backup, tar has finally catched up and is able to back up xattrs now too, making backups usable. bind-mount root to somewhere and backup from there so you dont have to exclude 100 dirs

tar is a perfectly adequate backup tool in a pinch

and you can use the --one-file-system flag to avoid accidentally backing up /proc or whatever

maybe they tried one of those focus apps? those things basically use a bunch of accessibility and hidden features to do stuff

i think you'll miss the files hidden behind mounted folders then. e.g. the ~extremely important~ .keep-files distros put in empty folders so they cannot be rmdir-ed when not mounted

edit: when i think about it, they do one more thing too.. making sure that the folders are recreated when restoring from backups. so there's an actual use for them

there's a particular spot in my workplace where my iphone consistently reports full bars 4g but absolutely nothing will load on it. i wonder if a weird interference pattern could do that, but then it's not that specific of a spot

has anyone in here ever seen a terminal emulator break on windows in a way where it gets really slow and 'cd ~' takes you to a directory that is just '/p/' instead of '/c/users/myname/'?

it seems to happen to my work computer every time i do a windows update and it is a nightmare for getting poo poo done

it's almost certainly some nasty multipathing that surpasses your phone's ability to null it out, given how most offices are built with metal studs. If you're working in a place with a curtain wall, that doesn't help (along with the fact that most office windows have metal-based tints to reflect out excess light and thermal energy)

i am getting real sick of google music. i have all 20,000 mp3 in my library uploaded to their thing, but accessing it from my phone is the worst. searching is slow and bad and it always, always, always gives a lovely internet radio station as the first result, even if i type the name of the song i want word for word.

you searched for "meat loaf bat out of hell". instead of loading up that mp3, here's some stupid loving thing that'll play songs that we think are similar, but never that specific one, and with more ads than the local top 40 station! eat poo poo, fucker!

so anyway -- is there some other service i can use to do this? i don't want to put 60 gigs of mp3s on my phone. i just want to stick them somewhere and have a simple browser that lets me search and stream the one i want.

amazon did have it but shut it down. apple music does have it too, i think, but they have some quality restrictions and songs go by count, rather than size.

although im genuinely curious what you earth you listen that between apple music/google music/amazon music/spotify you cant find a decent chunk of you're poo poo. i listen to artisanal drum & bass mp3s from estonian villages (not even too terribly exaggerating here) and i can find a decent chunk of it on the same spotify, including basically every major artists in the niche/subgenre. is this some pearl clutching over your hand curated warez stash from limewire or do you really not listen dadrock or some other music for olds like i imagine half the yospos do?

i don't want to try four different services to see which one has the song i want to listen to. i know what's in my library and i want to listen to that.

i would probably be okay with google music if i could just disable all the live station garbage and just have it stream my own library, or at least show only those search results. but it always gives me those and the interface is just so, so bad
