y the BIOS.  Maybe drives are getting better and SMART is getting better as well.  Thoughts.  Replace as soon as drive arrives or wait and see? Dale :-)  :-)

Howdy, As some know, I've rearranged some hard drives and data recently.  Got the data moved into the new places.  Given those changes, I'm also having to adjust my backups as well.  Before, I just backed up /home/dale and told rsync to exclude a few large directories that needed to be stored

backup that gets done each week.  I wouldn't lose much even if it crashed and burned badly.  The biggest loss might would be emails.  I think I have gmail set up to save them so I think it would download whatever was missing from the last backup restoration.  I need to check that.  Dale :-)  :-)

a example, I start with one 7TB drive encrypted, move some data to it, then want to add either the 5TB or 7TB drive.  Can I just expand it like a normal LVM or does it being encrypted change things?  Thoughts?  My remove steps look sensible?  Expanding encrypted LVM possible? Dale :-)  :-)
