7 good idea, I didn't have the -l option. Now I run rsync like this:
8
9 sudo /usr/bin/ionice -c 3 /usr/bin/rsync -aAlx --exclude suspend_file
10 --delete --delete-excluded --delete-before --partial --human-readable /
11 "${MOUNTPT}" >>"${LOGFILE}"
12
13 Note the "-l" AND "--delete-before".
14
15 However I'm STILL filling up the second drive for some unknown reason.
16
17 I've added "--exclude /usr/portage/distfiles" to the rsync options,
18 since there's no need to back up my distfiles, but I'd like to know why
19 it's not working...
