lol , is home separate mount point?

ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net on 01 Jul 00:55 collapse

Yeah,

So Home is a separate 1.8TB NVME drive… But under home is my home directory, and under that is a half-dozen NAS mounts, including my ~~Plex stuff.~~ collection of ISO images. ;-)

lemonhead2@lemmy.world on 01 Jul 03:21 collapse

omg. how many isos to get 100tb

village604@adultswim.fan on 01 Jul 03:40 collapse

If you’re doing raw bluray, not as many as you’d think.

Ghoelian@piefed.social on 01 Jul 06:11 collapse

Yeah, a single raw blu-ray can be over 100GB. I ripped my whole doctor who blu-ray collection once, it took quite a few days. And that wasn’t even 4k or HDR or anything. The first few seasons are even interlaced iirc.

ohulancutash@feddit.uk on 01 Jul 06:28 collapse

BR is 25/50G, 4K BR is 66/100G

Ghoelian@piefed.social on 01 Jul 11:47 collapse

Uncompressed raw blu-ray rips most certainly are not.

Greetings, fellow data hoarder!

tuckerm@feddit.online on 30 Jun 21:42 next collapse

Pfft, the only “hoarding problem” is that storage is expensive these days!

ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net on 01 Jul 01:00 collapse

I know, I just paid $500 for a 24TB SAS drive that was $250 just over a year ago.

Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 01 Jul 05:45 collapse

That’s a good deal. Microcenter was selling a WD 20TB external HDD for $600. Didn’t end up pulling the trigger 'cause I’m going for a 2 drive Raid1 config on my janky setup and $1350 w/ taxes is way too steep.

ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net on 01 Jul 12:12 collapse

SAS actually ends up being a little cheaper due to it not being as compatible with home systems… And it’s a refurb but I got lucky because smartctl showed it only had about 200 hrs of uptime reported.

I myself already have 50T and it feels like a bottomless pit

I’m at single digit TBs and dreading that a drive breaks and I need a new one. Not that I have a lot of free space either.

bacon_pdp@lemmy.world on 01 Jul 15:55 collapse

Well, a 256GB of storage in flash drive form can be obtained for $31 or less. So it is very possible to slowly save a copy of your data from the most important to the least. (Or to move 256GB of your least important data off at a time). The data curation community is a great resource for figuring out how to organize things to keep found things found

happy_wheels@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 30 Jun 22:11 next collapse

Pardon my stupidity BUT why include stdout to Devnull? Why not omit and simply ‘du -sh /home’

helix@feddit.org on 30 Jun 22:24 next collapse

That’s stderr, not stdout

nbailey@lemmy.ca on 30 Jun 22:24 next collapse

There’s probably a bunch of permissions errors, filesystems warnings for cross-filesystem mounts or links, etc. all going to stderr. Linux output streams are a bit odd, 1 is stdout and 2 is stderr. So the command is redirecting the “noise” to null and just printing the actual command output. That would be my assessment, but OP could probably give a more correct answer…!

Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works on 01 Jul 00:31 next collapse

Noob, just use sudo, less chars!

ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net on 01 Jul 00:57 collapse

Oddly enough, still generates errors. (There are stuff in user directories that are set to 600… so even root can’t browse/open.)

Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works on 01 Jul 02:15 next collapse

Well now I have to try this. Missing that executable bit would make sense. But last time I did this on / I didn’t get errors 🤔

village604@adultswim.fan on 01 Jul 03:42 next collapse

There’s also some stuff in Proc and run that won’t let you.

technopagan@lemmy.world on 01 Jul 05:22 collapse

Are you sure? Root can see everything.

Hule@lemmy.world on 01 Jul 05:43 collapse

On a network, it can’t.

NFS mount probably.

ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net on 01 Jul 00:56 collapse

Nope, you are exactly on.

ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net on 30 Jun 23:55 collapse

2> means stderr… Keeps the “can’t access …” Out of the display.

To be fair, all but about 2TB of that is on a NAS…but still.

Meanwhile here I am trying to upgrade my 512gb NVME drive to 2Tb while also still trying to afford car payments, rent and food. Rookie numbers on my part.

kalpol@lemmy.ca on 01 Jul 12:09 collapse

The most well-timed thing I ever did was buy 6 2tb NVMe drives in August last year

God help me if one fails

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

Fewer Letters	More Letters

never saw the s argument and was curious what’s the difference to d. man pages are way ahead of me ^^

–max-depth=0 is the same as –summarize

ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net on 01 Jul 12:14 next collapse

Now I need to try that.

ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net on 01 Jul 12:23 collapse

So just did a couple of experiments…

sudo su -sh /home - returns permission denied errors on certain NAS subdirectories, but not a lot.

du -sh /home --summarize -returns the same errors.

du -sh --max-depth=0 - returns the same errors plus an error saying that using --max-depth=0 is the same as --summarize.

;-) for the purposes of what I was doing (creating a clip for posting) redirecting stderr to null was the best option.

But I learned a few things today, which is cool. ;-)

I create videos, and back up all of my raw footage. I make weekly videos, and the size ranges from 50GB up to 500GB or more. I have 105TB available, 90TB used at the moment. I also have a fully redundant set of another 105TB. My employer has unfortunately made it very easy to justify hoarding, as they’ll sell me reputable used commercial drives for $10/TB.

The video archives are 53TB

TubeArchivist is 19TB

Legally acquired movies and TV is 10TB

Immich is 2TB

Those are the main users of data. A bunch of other folders are using anywhere from a gig to 500GB, but those are basically rounding errors.
