Points for me. I nailed it. Where's my cigar? :D
On the subject of disk surprises and rsync, I did an opposite dumb-dumb. I
didn't have my backup partitions mounted, and then I made my backup. Some
weeks later, I finally realized that / was completely full. Oops.
I guess that's the one bad thing about the Unix style of managing volumes.
It's easy to do things like this by mistake. OTOH, I still think it's much
more sensible than the stupid X: scheme of DOS/Windows.
