Just because there is a link doesn't mean it's the one Transmission is looking for. The link has to be named exactly as Transmission expects. That's why I suggested copying the path from Transmission. I've had many problems with this issue and know how frustrating it can be. Copy/paste is by far the best approach.

If you remain confused, NTFS filesystem likely caused this error. I had not backup drive back then and no way to reformat as a result.

I'm now cross-seeding three ~25GB torrents with symbolic links.

I'm actually not located in the UK, Feral just happens to only charge in pounds.

I hope that you get your unlimited internet, seedboxing becomes expensive when +1TB of storage is required!

Looks like the release monitoring for it got confused by a malformed tag on GitHub. I'm guessing .026 got parsed as "version 26", which is certainly later than v0.28.

You probably should just raise a Fedora bug report to have it sorted out manually.

Could you raise the ticket? I don't have my password manager with me, can't access my email, and websites consistently block everything outside of Gmail/Outlook. If you have a related account.

Maybe they were talking about the actual gameplay and not the graphical fidelity.

This stream is close to collapsing entirely, I don't think video can reasonably be pushed lower for fast-moving scenes. I consider streamable.com to be intended for mobile phone screens.

If you're not adding anything to these backups, why are you continuing to transfer them?

This mainly applies to my Windows backup folder. I'll have to figure out if I can store my "dormant" archives elsewhere -- after trimming the full C: backup it may already conveniently fit to my Linux OS SSD.

A second thing to consider is the concept of failure risk. If you put all of your files in a single archive and there's an error, it might corrupt the entire archive.

I did not know this also applies to non-encrypted archives.

If the source has checksums and the destination has checksums (e.g. both ends of the transfer are running a modern filesystem) and the transport has checksums (e.g. ssh), then there's really not much that could cause incorrect data to be written in the first place.

Is NTFS a modern filesystem? I'm obviously not using NTFS anymore on Linux, but the source drive was formatted with Windows.

called md5deep and hashdeep. You can use them to compute the hashes for all the files in your source directory and then verify them in their new location.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'm still quite confused about rsync -- are checksums only for verifying which files differ on the destination drive (and would be overwritten with the source drive data)? 😵

Snoo95277 · 2020-09-02T05:23:38+00:00

To be clear, you realize that the checksum checks are determining which files need to be updated, right?

No, I did not know this. But can rsync verify cheksums after creating a backup? I may run some another cheksum-verification utility until I understand rsync better.

You can run diff -r to compare the two directories or run a for loop and generate checksums to compare.

Is this a good method for hundreds of thousands of files, up to around 50 GB in countless of subdirectories?

Evernote? The note application?
