- Set up a Raspberry Pi server which exposes a single file system

 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?
