FigMcLargeHuge, (edited ) to linux in Help with external 4TB drive

I think the first time you are trying to mount the drive and not the partition “sudo mount /dev/sdc /mnt” and on the second and third attempt have the sdc1 right, but need to make a folder under mnt to mount the drive onto. Make a folder like ‘tempdrive’ under /mnt and then try it with this since you said it was an ext4 filesystem. Note, you can name it whatever you want I just picked that as an example:

cd /mnt

sudo mkdir tempdrive

sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/tempdrive

If it doesn’t recognize the filesystem then use -t

sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/tempdrive

And yes, once you get it down, an fstab entry will make this mount every time, but I would use the uuid in the fstab. I have two mounted on a machine like this in my /etc/fstab:

UUID=“6a95603a-2112-4c4d-ad4d-e146e646a74a” /media/largedrive ext4 auto,nofail,noatime,rw,user 0 0

UUID=“3E31-540B” /media/new4tbdrive exfat auto,nofail,noatime,rw,user 0 0

There’s also the issue of medical. Someone might not be able to medically get a pilots license, but can pull up a chair. It might not have anything to do with money.

And dump the asterisks if that is the actual entry.

Do people actually want this?

Nope. Just like those stupid hard coded buttons on my Roku remote that I have never used.

I am willing to bet that inspired a certain scene in Twister.

This is one of my all time favorites!!

FigMcLargeHuge, to asklemmy in I am to celebrate new years eve alone. How can I celebrate solo?

I am taking the metro train to downtown with my bike. I will ride around a little, stay for the fireworks, and then take it back home. Easy enough. You are obviously going through something so don’t make being alone on new years eve too significant. Stuff happens, and hopefully you come out of this stronger.

FigMcLargeHuge, to linux in Is anyone using awk?

You can also add to the output. I use it frequently to pull a list of files, etc, from another file, and then do something like generate another script from that output. This is a weak example, but one I can think of off my head. Not firing up my work laptop to search for better examples until after the holidays. LOL.

awk {‘print "ls -l "$1’}

And then send that to a file that I can then execute.

FigMcLargeHuge, to linux in Is anyone using awk?

I use awk constantly at work. Very useful in my opinion, and really powerful if you dig into it.

FigMcLargeHuge, to linux in What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive?

It’s going to take a little work here, but I have a large drive on my plex, and a couple of smaller drives that I back everything up to. On the large drive get a list of the main folders. You can do a “du -h --max-depth=1 | sort -hk1” on the root folder to get an idea of how you should split them up. Once you have an idea, make two files, each with their own list of folders (eg: folders1.out and folders2.out) that you want to go to each separate drive. If you have both of the smaller drives mounted, just execute the rsync commands, otherwise, just do each rsync command with the corresponding drive mounted. Here’s an example of my rsync commands. Keep in mind I am going from an ext4 filesystem to a couple of ntfs drives, which is why I use the size only. Make sure and do a dry run or two, and you may or may not want the ‘–delete’ command in there. Since I don’t want to keep files I have deleted from my plex, I have it delete them on the target drive also.

sudo rsync -rhi --delete --size-only --progress --stats --files-from=/home/plex/src/folders1.out /media/plex/maindrive /media/plex/4tbbackup

sudo rsync -rhi --delete --size-only --progress --stats --files-from=/home/plex/src/folders2.out /media/plex/maindrive /media/plex/other4tbdrive

FigMcLargeHuge, to piracy in Amazon and Tolkein Estate force author to destroy all copies of his work. Only pirated copies will survive.

Don’t let your dreams be dreams! What were you going to spend all that money on anyway, retirement?

FigMcLargeHuge, (edited ) to linux in 100 Million Firmware Updates Supplied By The LVFS

I 110% agree with you on all points. I have been complaining and telling people about privacy till I am blue in the face, and it just seems like the general public doesn’t care. They just do not care that every second of their life is under surveillance and the data is sold to the highest bidder.

FigMcLargeHuge, to linux in Does `cp -v` print out the file name when it starts copying it or when it's done?

Run an md5sum command on the last file in each location and compare. That will tell you if one of them is different and answer your question.

This is what a ton of links end up being. I don’t know how anyone thinks that is an even acceptable user experience. Shit just popping up and covering the actual content. Actual content spread out like you are supposed to search for where the next paragraph is. The current state of most websites is just absolute shit. I end up going in and turning off javascript, since that seems to be the herpes that is behind most of this. I am not sure who or how people are making money off this advertising, but it needs to end (without having to resort to adblockers or disabling javascript). Ads have just absolutely fucked most web browsing and that’s sad.
