It must have been pretty close last night but for some reason my computer restarted (I think it was OneDrive misbehaving but that is another story). Today it was about a TB in when the drive unmounted for some reason. I am going to go with random fluke assuming it doesn't happen again. I think it is worth noting that when it unmounted, I got a bunch of notifications. When it froze, the drive was very much still mounted the whole time and there was no notifications of any kind. I am going to try again...

yes! The problem is the if its interupted, it starts again from scratch. And at 8Tb, thats a lot of wear.

I am trying to sync, for the first time, about 8 tb. It proceeds normally but when it hits at autosave (set at 100) it then freezes. The logs show nothing. The output (with -v) show nothing. But I finally killed it at something like 6 hours. Anything I can do to make this work? Anyway to see more of what is happening? I am on macOS installed via homebrew.

That sounds reasonable. If I do that, will I be able to move things out of the "array" folder? Or am I now stuck with that? Will I just update the config?

I am planning to set up SnapRAID. I currently have an 8Tb and 14Tb drive. I will be buying a 16-20Tb drive to be the parity drive. The problem is, I am currently backing up the 8Tb to the otherwise empty 14Tb drive. I do not want to be without at least two copies during the set up. What is the best approach? Thanks!

OSX work standardly. I did a bit of digging and I thought you may find the results...

On my system, this is easily see with stat. If I did "stat bibfile.bib" I get, for...

Save creates a new file rather than modifying the old
