I can't figure out why I suddenly have new folders on my laptop in /media/jjj/disk, media/jjj/disk1, and /media/jjj/disk2. The first two appear to have all the folders of /, that is, bin, boot, dev, etc, home, lib, lib64, media, meta, mnt, opt, proc, root, run, sbin, snap, srv, sys, tmp, usr, var, plus writable. I've never seen a folder named 'writable' before. The file manager says each of the first two is a 102MB volume. Looking inside each of the folders they seem to have parts of what is really in /, but not all. The third folder has bin, etc, firstrun, lib, man1, meta, snap, tests, usr, and the files chromium.png, command-chromium.wrapper, and flavor-select. WTH?
I have an rsync script that runs every night via cron to copy / to a folder 'Root' on another drive, mounted at /media/jjj/data: #!/bin/bash TS=`date` rsync -avx --delete --exclude-from=/home/jjj/Software/Rsync_root_excludes.txt / /media/jjj/Data/Root echo "$TS Root Backup Done Exit Status $?" >> /home/jjj/Software/Rsync_daily_log.txt Every morning when I sit down at the computer the daily log is sitting in the middle of the screen, displaying exit code 0, and waiting for me to close it. It gets there via another cron job that calls gxmessage to display it. When I saw these bogus folders I immediately thought that they must have gotten there via this script, but that doesn't make sense. First, the script has been running every night for a long time, but one of the folders was apparently created on 9/29, the second one on 10/8, and the third one on 12/3. I'm pretty sure I could just delete these folders with no harm resulting, but how did they get there in the first place? Why? I'd like to solve this mystery, but I could use some clues. _______________________________________________ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
