I'm using it and had no issues using rsync to back up to an external drive on both a desktop machine and a laptop: # nice -n 19 /bin/rsync -av -S --exclude-from=/etc/skipdirs.rsync / /media/external-3TB-Drive where "/etc/skipdirs.rsync" contains: /proc/* /sys/* /dev/* /media/** /mnt/** /var/log/journal/* /run/media/** /var/lib/docker/* The only issues I've heard of are anecdotal regarding suspend and such (it fixes a lot of problems that 4.17.4-200 through 4.17.6-200 had, but not all of them) and it's unclear if it's a kernel issue or a particular set of ancillary processes (VMs and the like) that's causing it. The only thing that seems definitive is that it behaves "differenly" than 4.17.3-200 and earlier kernels, whatever "differently" means. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - The world is coming to an end ...
