  • Did something similar recently. Turns out rsync by default, if it encounters a symlink to a directory and it’s instructed to copy a directory with the same name, will remove the symlink and create an empty directory.

    So I had a script that installs crosscompiled kernel modules via rsync /path/to/nfs/path /

    This worked perfectly until Debian 12, like other distros, decided to merge /usr, so now /bin is a symlink to /usr/bin. First time I run the script after upgrade /bin gets replaced and then no programs can be started as all binaries look for /bin/ld-linux.

    I managed to fix it by booting into busybox and recreating the symlink, but it took a while until I figured out what was wrong, wasn’t familiar with usrmerge.




  • I’m running ZRAM on my old Netgear ReadyNAS’s, which has 512MB or 256MB RAM. It enables them to do a lot more than they otherwise would be able to, running a modern linux distribution.

    I’ve been so satisfied with it that I even started running it on my modern desktop with 32GB RAM, it helps with my tab addiction :)
