I know. I have done plenty of same device partition resizing. I know the pit falls, and for safety shrink the FS to below what the LV is going to be.

Thanks for the reminder. I’ve been meaning to set up snapshot backups for this machine using rsnapshot as an experiment. I mainly use Dirvish

Nah, it’ll be fine.

I might have a large enough USB SSD laying around some where. I could probably use that instead.

• extend VG with the USB PV

Good grief. Why?

jdupes is my go-to solution for file deduplication. It should be able to remove duplicate files. I don’t know how much control it gives you over which duplicate to remove though.

I personally use yadm

There’s a committee that meets every 3 months and takes in suggestions from the public.

ZRAM/ZSWAP is a thing on Linux at least. But that doesn’t compress actively used RAM. That’s just compressed swap space in memory.
