That is a good reason to use a version control system. Once you have
one, you will wonder how you ever got by without it.
ATM I have rsync in its 7nth attempt to make a copy of the nominally
350G in /home, and its now working again, very slowly with a
--bwlimit=5m.
350 G / 5 M/s * 1000 M/G = 70000 s, or about 19 hours.
IOW these taiwanese gigastone 2T SSD drives cannot handle data in big
gulps. the copy locked me up and needed the reset button twice already
this morning at 20m and 10m, so now trying 5m. These drives, if 5m
allows it to complete, will get a damning review on amazon if only 5m
allows it to work. U-sd cards are faster than that.
I think your computer has numerous issues, including storage. Unless
and until you benchmark the Gigastone SSD's in a stripped-down machine
with a reference OS and tool set, I would not blame the Gigastone SSD's.
Ah,but I finally glombed onto the bug tan memory bar in htop as it was
runniing, someplace in the data chain is a huge memory leak, my crash is
caused by the OOM daemon killing things. And it only occurs when I run
rsync. Only takes it 10 minute to eat 32G of memory, then 500k into
swap, and the OOM daemon start killing the system until there's nothing
left to run.
