Keith, thank you for your comments.
Re BTRFS: searching around suggested ext4 + journaling imposed a lot of
extra writes on a SSD. Do modern SSDs have a burn-out? If you use ext4
on your SSDs, do you limit journaling? A regular contributor to
alt.os.linux.mageia suggests there are a number of advantages with BTRFS
for SSDs, but looking at at all the man pages for BTRFS makes me think
it's quite complex to manage.
Re rsync: you're quite correct about the trailing slash. I had things
the wrong way round, and a quick dry run confirmed it. The value of a
peer review! However, I do need the trailing / for the return trip,
because the top level directories exist. Right?
Regards,
Graeme
