   This RAID1 pair of discs only carries my local mirror, normally updated
every night using ftpsync  (from /debian/project/ftpsync/ ) which uses a
modified rsync to only update selected architectures from the original site,
cleaning out old files as it goes. I have been watching df for a while as it
moved closer to the limit, and I have already planned to move the mirror to
a much larger RAID1 pair on another machine within the next few days.
   Unfortunately slightly delayed by someone breaking into my car and then
setting fire to it, followed by problems chasing off scrap merchants, etc,
long periods spent contacting police and insurance, etc. Fortunately there
is good public transport here.
