Last night I was at a fairly new Tim Horton's, and there was a sign sticker on the door saying if you were not 100% satisfied to email the owner/manager/whatever at a @me.com address |

fork the github repo, push the patch to your fork, and submit a pull request? |

|
arrith |
undersco2: well what about this: might already be in git-annex, where i can have a local 'copy' of stuff in the form of git-annex-type text files with the location of something in them, then move those files around in my tree, and when say i plug in a relevant external harddrive, it shuffles files around to match how i've moved their textfile copies? |
|
01:43
🔗
|
DFJustin |
guess we only just found out about it |
|
02:03

🔗
|
arrith |
closure: well say i make a bunch of changes where i move stuff around, can i then say "please execute the moves" and have git-annex prompt me to then connect/disconnect relevant external drives necessary to do the moving? |
|
02:10
🔗
|
closure |
ok, so you want to literally move files between drives.. so you make some directories in git, say drive1, drive2, drive23. git mv files into there. Then later you mount drive1, go into its clone of the repo, update it, go into the drive1 directory, and: "git-annex move --to ." and it'll move files from all the other drives, or complain if some of them are not mounted |
|
02:13
🔗
|
arrith |
hm that might work. i'll dig around with git-annex |
|
02:35
🔗
|
closure |
there may be better ways, depending on what you're trying to do. For example I was running this command today: git annex --untrust=here --untrust=home copy --auto --to archive |
|
02:35
🔗
|
closure |
... which automatically identifies files that need more copies, assuming the current repo and another one are not reliable, and puts them on the archive drive |
|
02:38
🔗
|
arrith |
that's pretty fancy |
|
02:39
🔗
|
closure |
especially nice since different directories are configured to need different numbers of files.. I like a ton of copies of my photos etc |
|
02:40
🔗
|
arrith |
i'm trying to automagically most efficiently be told by a program which resources (external drives or otherwise) i need to connect to have the move files around with the least amount of me connecting/disconnecting a drive |
|
02:41
🔗
|
closure |
can you connect 2 drives at the same tim? |
|
02:41
🔗
|
yipdw |
Tim won't like it, but yeah |
|
02:42
🔗
|
arrith |
closure: yeah the system would have to be aware of how many drives you can connect. i personally can connect 4, assuming usb. but some drives i'd like to only connect through esata since it's way faster for me |
|
02:42
🔗
|
arrith |
closure: btw offtopic but two things that might be neat for git-annex could be scrubbing support, where it verifies the hashes on files. and also a way to customize the command being used to copy/move. for example rsnapshot lets you add custom arguments to the rsync it runs |
|
02:43
🔗
|
arrith |
brb in a bit |
|
02:43
🔗
|
closure |
every command git-annex runs (I think) can have options added, on a global or even per-remote basis |
|
02:44
🔗
|
closure |
git config remote.foo.annex-rsync-options --bwlimit 100 |
|
02:45
🔗
|
closure |
I think your thing could be built on top, since you can have git-annex --json dump where files are located, and get the info to calculate the drive swapping sequence |
