Also, operating as root in a user login shell can create problems when building from source. Those problems are avoided running the build from a root login shell (su -). To take Ed's rant one step further, sudo is to a root login shell as 'idiot lights' in a vehicle are to direct-reading gauges. > rsync -av --progress /media/Home2 /media/Movies/Backup_8.17.14 Adding the z option to rsync (that is, specify -avz) compresses the data during transmission and increases transfer speed even more.
