I ended up just letting it do its thing. I didn't want to slow it down |
10 |
by much, just make my desktop able to respond better. I used nice and |
11 |
ionice to do this with emerge and it works great. I just thought I was |
12 |
missing some option for that command that google didn't help with. I |
13 |
went and helped my sis-n-law with some garden stuff. That helped. ;-) |

As it stands now, I've copied enough over to get a free 8TB drive. I |
16 |
set up LUKS, which includes LVM, on the drive and am copying some more |
17 |
files onto the newly encrypted drive. Once everything is transferred, |
18 |
I'll then see if I need the other drive added or not. I may not at the |
19 |
moment. Of course, once fiber internet gets here, that may change |
20 |
pretty soon. |

If someone is really knowledgeable about LVM and LUKS and how to set up |
23 |
a encrypted hard drive, not a whole install but just a data drive, a |
24 |
howto for this would be really nice. I had to use a LUKS howto and a |
25 |
LVM howto and sort of merge commands until I figured out how to get the |
26 |
two together. Even tho I got it working, I'm still not real clear on |
27 |
how one part of it works. I'm just not clear enough on it to write one |
28 |
myself. A Gentoo wiki would be nice. There's one for the two |
29 |
separately but not together. One posted anywhere google can find it |
30 |
would be great tho. |

Now to find something to do while rsync copies over some 6TBs of files. |
