Are you sure that the disappearing files aren't a quirk of btrfs in the first place?

Be *very* careful with any 'modern' filesystem if you use a USB interface. I've seen filesystems trashed by USB communication failures, and the more 'modern' the filesystem, the more irretrievable seems to be the failure. My advice would be don't do that, unless you're comfortable with trashed filesystems and it won't matter to you very much when it happens. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
