Re-mastering Proof-of-Principle Effort

[utu]

Thanks for your comments, Werner.

If you want short times for "recombine", why don't you use a free partition on HD as I described? The use of a second flash device is a lame duck.

I feel more comfortable NOT modifying the HD on my laptop.
The underlying Win7 system works very well, and I don't feel confident enough to repair it if I break it.
$19 provides a safer but slower means for me.

To use

cp -r UNIONFS /media/sdc2/knx

is not as versatile as

rsync -ax /UNIONFS/ $STOR/knx/recombine

"cp" doesn't offer the ability to exclude/include files and folders.

I noticed that in the excludes, but it doesn't seem you are saving many Mbs.
Is there something more important going on here?

The un-re-mastered compressed KNOPPIX is already as cloop within the directory /KNOPPIX/.

If that were de-compressed to /media/xxx/knx/recombine and then rsync-ed it would save
some time, I'd think.

My last question is, can we just compress UNIONFS directly, without making a mirror of it first?
