The nesting you saw sounds interesting. I haven't used Ark in a long time, so I don't clearly recall the interface. Is it possible that you accidentally did a drag and copy of the root directory into the root directory (e.g., finger twitch)? As I write that, I am recalling my wife's method of backi...

but I'm worried that a bunch of links were created that the system might still try to write to despite folder being deleted; I've heard about this sort of situation sometimes doing that. Gzip does not store any links in the archive, and so no links can be created on decompression. According to the ...

You can try: # find / -type l It may be slow, depending on the size of your system. Or use the key words I show, copy/paste to a search engine, and read some of the tutorials on that. For now , I can't think of anything else. It was just a .zip. I ran ls -lR / | grep ^l^C and it terminated in about...

I started unpacking a zip archive yesterday that contains several images, and after about 10 min the system became very sluggish and I got a warning that the disk was 95% full in the KDE tray. A moment later the same notification icon popped up a warning saying the disk was 100% full, and looking at...

Yes you are right about firewall rules. "The default Debian installation comes with the program iptables(8), configured to allow all traffic." https://wiki.debian.org/DebianFirewall And what about the DEBUG flags? do you see interesting errors? It would look more like a HW network card th...

Read what I wrote. I never did make that claim, just I'd rather not add the overhead if I don't have to. So what is Your claim? - I just can't wait to see the final version ... Can You define/measure that mysterious "overhead"? What is the exact problem that You have with the BTRFS? (or a...

Ask a drag racer why they don't run AC when they're at the track making a run. It's only 10 or so out of how many hundreds of horsepower, shouldn't be noticeable right? But it's that much less getting to wheels. In the same vein, why knowingly force CPU time to the copy on write operation when I'm ...

It isn't just the actual write itself that takes additional time, there are other resources such as CPU cycles and memory that are needed to execute the CoW commands, etc. that can slow things down in other places besides the drive. No. Simply speaking, no matter how many audio streams You have to ...

It isn't just the filesystem itself, though, it's the other things that have to slow down to accommodate it. Reading/writing from storage is generally the slowest step in the chain, why knowingly add latency? Sorry, but apparently I don't get what do You mean - what latency? The writes are buffered...

What do you mean you do not have a firewall? If you use debian, there is a firewall active by default. Yes, iptables is active, but if you'll scroll up just a bit you'll see the output of iptables -L, which shows no firewall rules in effect, so the firewall is wide open. This is not a firewall issu...

It's also remotely possible that xen is grabbing the USB connection when waking from sleep for some reason. Personally, I think a kernel regression is way more likely, but this is also a possibility. Well, I thought I was out of the woods using the 5.4 kernel but it happened again last night. I had...
