- Set up a Raspberry Pi server which exposes a single file system - Link it to the USB HDD's of different sizes that I have lying around
Just for the excitement factor I set up a 1.8TB USB drive off a Raspberry Pi.
Currently we are @ ~ 500GB of data from a rsync of my desktop's /home partition.
.....its been 2.5 days!
This is definitely a project that proves the difference between using the "right" tools for the job vs playing with what you have lying around!

That's a tick over 8Gb/hour, what are you complaining about? :^) Is that mainly due to the USB2 interface on the PI? And what file system are you running on the USB drive? -- Colin Fee tfeccles@gmail.com
