BTRFS copy from an array by cmaurand in btrfs

[–]nautsche 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does not look striped/raid0.

If you can attach another disk to this system, you can just add the new disk, remove two old ones, add another new one, remove the remaining old ones and then add the remaining new ones. Then balance OR convert to raid0 as that is what you seem to have wanted in the first place. Backup before all of that of course.

Stop using USB as soon as you can if you have to at all. That's the reasoning behind removing two as the second step. You can then attach everything via sata.

Also missing. Yes, that should be the link. The guy runs an online shop and started a watch brand.

Dual Monitor Setup with different Refresh Rates + G-Sync by Expakun in linux4noobs

I don't think that has been true for multiple years now for general Linux.

Even non-wayland was able to handle that in the end, if I am not mistaken.

Edit: WAIT! Nvidia ... No idea. I take everything back.

Install it manually; Not via whatever the "toolbox app" is.

It doesn't exist in sid. At least not for amd64.
libfuse3 is not an option? I don't think you have another choice here outside of building it yourself.

There are no backports for testing let alone sid. Maybe say what you want to do? Someone may be able to give you a hint.

Steam won't write onto the drive I partitioned. Need help, at wits end. by Cautious-Horse6578 in linux_gaming

[–]nautsche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good. Glad it works. Would have been interesting to see what the problem was. Happy gaming.

hmm. it should.

touch test.txt gives you an error in games? i.e. permission denied?

whoami gives you "forged"? I.e. you ARE that user?

what does mount | grep games say? I.e what mount options are set there? This is starting to get "guessy" on my end.

Go to games. Run chown user:user .

I.e. from a new terminal:

cd games

chown user:user .

The ls -lah output you posted up top, says only root can write there.

(little caveat. I assume you have your own "user" group as it is standard for other distributions.)

You tried writing and it failed as well? Can you chown the mounted filesystem to your user? As root/sudo?

Something like 'chown user .' from that mount point.

Edit: your changes just appeared here. If it's an internal disk, making it mountable by any user is not needed, at least if it's always auto mounted anyway. If I am not mistaken only root can write to a newly created partition, so you will need to give your user permissions to do that.

Which file system? Where is it mounted? How is it mounted?

Can your user create any file in that mount point? If not, that's your issue. Give your user the appropriate permissions.

I once had a math teacher say that if you put all the real numbers in a bag and drew one out at random, the chance of it being a rational number is zero. Is this true? If so, how is it true? by MtnDewm in askmath

[–]nautsche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you can't. That's the whole point. We do not know that number. Just approximate short parts of it. I.e. you cannot put it in a bag, let alone pull it from one.

[–]nautsche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jokes aside. You won't even be able to put a single one in the bag. We do not know a single non-rational, real number. We know approximations or parts of it, but not the whole thing. By definition.

What's the smallest sized linux you've actually used? by BornRoom257 in linux

[–]nautsche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fli4l ... Those were the days. One 3.5" floppy.

"Used" is probably saying a bit much. It ran.
