Hey Gus

@gingered I was thinking about this early this week as I started fiddling with a fedora vm to replace my manjaro vm. Turned out to just not be worth it and I use snapshots the way you use ostree, so no real advantage there.

I am still trying to figure out how to make $HOME more portable. Would be handy to flip between machines when needed, or rebuild, etc. Right now I’m doing that sort of with but doing it at a block device level feels ham fisted.

I've seen reports of people using #clonezila on #LVM volumes, but I wasn't so lucky.

I ended using a combination of #systemrescuecd, #partclone and #ssh to get maximum transfer speed between both computers.
The same technique many people use with #tar.

partclone.ext4 --clone --source <partition> | ssh <receiving_IP> 'partclone.ext4 --restore -o <dest_partition>'

Just remember to disable the `iptables` unit and setting systemrescuecd's `passwd` accordingly on the receiving computer.

I need some partitioning help. I thought I had it figured out, but ...

I had a 250GB boot drive partitioned for my laptop, I cloned it to a 2TB drive and thought I expanded the right partition, but I'm missing a step.

These screenshots show the configuration of the drive now.

If you have any tips on how to expand the /dev/FWlappy-vg drive/volume group/etc to 1.5TB or full, please let me know!

I'm so annoyed I may format and start from scratch.

hey hey #Linux #FileSystem #ZFS #RAID #XFS entities! I'm looking for extremely opinionated discourses on alternatives to ZFS on Linux for slapping together a #JBOD ("Just a Bunch Of Disks", "Just a Buncha Old Disks", "Jesus! Buncha Old Disks!", etc) array.

I like ZFS but the fact that it's not in tree in-kernel is an issue for me. What I need most is reliability and stability (specifically regarding parity) here; integrity is the need. Read/write don't have to be blazingly fast (not that I'm mad about it).

I also have one #proxmox ZFS array where a raw disk image is stored for a #Qemu #VirtualMachine; in the VM, it's formatted to XFS. That "seems" fine in limited testing thus far (and seems fast?, so it does seem like the defaults got the striping correct) but I kind of hate how I have multiple levels of abstraction here.

I don't think there's been any change on the #BTRFS front re: raid-like array stability (I like and use BTRFS for single disk filesystems but) although I would love for that to be different.

I'm open to #LVM, etc, or whatever might help me stay in tree and up to date. Thank you! Boosts appreciated and welcome.

I just installed Arch manually, but now it fails to boot. It only asks to unlock nvme1n1p1, but not the root, leading to a "failed to find root" error.

fstab seems correct. I suspect the issue is in crypttab.
Does anyone know a good blog post or guide to set it up correctly? I feel like I’m close to solving this.
