I do the same thing, not as network-accessible drives, but as<br>
external drives that I plug in once a week and back up to.<br></blockquote>I also do backups with ext4 and external drives. I have found that some/all(?) ext4 drives I have reserved a certain percentage of space for use only by privileged processes. I find that to use up all of the space as a normal user, I have to use the -m option of the tune2fs command to set " reserved-blocks-percentage". I find that business fiddly and so I won't be listing any example commands, sorry...<br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">BW,</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Ian<br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div>-- ACCU - Professionalism in programming - <a href="http://www.accu.org" target="_blank">http://www.accu.org</a><br></div>-- My writing - <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/ianbruntlett/" target="_blank">https://sites.google.com/site/ianbruntlett/</a><br><div>-- Free Software page - <a href="https://github.com/ian-bruntlett/TECH-Manuals/blob/main/tm-free-software.md" target="_blank">https://github.com/ian-bruntlett/TECH-Manuals/blob/main/tm-free-software.md</a><br></div><br> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
