Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I have two 160Gb drives, one internal and one USB. I've partitioned |
| 4 |
them the same and created an identical filesystem on the USB drive for |
| 5 |
backing up my internal drive. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I'm using the following rsync command to make the backup: |
| 8 |
sudo /usr/bin/ionice -c 3 /usr/bin/rsync -aAx --exclude suspend_file |
| 9 |
--delete --delete-excluded --partial |
| 10 |
--human-readable / /media/root-backup |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
however, after running this command sporadically for a few days, the USB |
| 13 |
partition is now full, whereas my root partition isn't! |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
sda is internal, and sdd is external. sda7 is the one I'm interested |
| 16 |
in: |

I just deleted a bunch of /var/tmp and distfiles to free up some space, |
| 53 |
and ran the rsync again. Now it looks like this: |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
$ df -h |
| 56 |
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on |
| 57 |
rootfs 92G 81G 6.1G 93% / |
| 58 |
/dev/sdd7 92G 89G 4.6M 100% /media/root-backup |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
/dev/sda3 99M 39M 55M 42% /boot |
| 61 |
/dev/sdd3 99M 39M 55M 42% /media/boot-backup |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
I'm doing the /root backup from cron, but the /boot backup manually when |
| 64 |
I make changes. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
I thought perhaps the ext3 options were different (ie. different amount |
| 67 |
of "reserved" space) but that would make the "Avail" columns different, |
| 68 |
and shouldn't make the "Used" columns different. |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
any thoughts as to why my USB partition is full? thanks, |
| 71 |

Most people have two reasons for doing anything -- a good reason, and |
| 75 |
the real reason. |
