I backup my photos from an iMac to a Ubuntu linux box with a simple rsync command.<\/p>\n

rsync --exclude=\".*\" -ave ssh \/my\/masters userId@x.x.x.y:\/media\/pictures<\/pre>\n
This will copy everything new from \/my\/masters to the backup machine at \/media\/pictures without copying any “dot” files. This also does not delete anything from the new machine.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I was doing the rsync, but ran out of space on the backup box. A ctrl-z, and now I need to make more space. I am running ext3, so it should be just a few commands. First I unmounted (umount) the filesystems just to be sure. Then :<\/p>\n
lvextend -L +40G \/dev\/vg\/pictures<\/pre>\n
This will grow the logical volume by 40 gig. Next we need to resize the filesystem to fill up the space.<\/p>\n
resize2fs \/dev\/vg\/pictures<\/pre>\n
I have done this before, but this time I got a message to run e2fsck first.<\/p>\n
e2fsck -f \/dev\/vg\/pictures<\/pre>\n
This finished without issue, and I then ran the resize2fs command and it finished after a couple of minutes. Remount the filesystem, a “df” and it confirms that there is more space available.<\/p>\n
I removed the last file copied to make sure it wasn’t wrecked somehow, and then kicked off the rsync again. It just picked up where it left off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
