Before dropping a file, git-annex wants to be able to look at other
|
||
|
|
remotes, and verify that they still have a file. After all, it could
|
||
|
|
have been dropped from them too. If the remotes are not mounted/available,
|
||
|
|
you'll see something like this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# git annex drop important_file other.iso
|
||
|
|
drop important_file (unsafe)
|
||
|
|
Could only verify the existence of 0 out of 1 necessary copies
|
||
|
|
Unable to access these remotes: usbdrive
|
||
|
|
Try making some of these repositories available:
|
||
|
|
58d84e8a-d9ae-11df-a1aa-ab9aa8c00826 -- portable USB drive
|
||
|
|
ca20064c-dbb5-11df-b2fe-002170d25c55 -- backup SATA drive
|
||
|
|
(Use --force to override this check, or adjust annex.numcopies.)
|
||
|
|
failed
|
||
|
|
drop other.iso (unsafe)
|
||
|
|
Could only verify the existence of 0 out of 1 necessary copies
|
||
|
|
No other repository is known to contain the file.
|
||
|
|
(Use --force to override this check, or adjust annex.numcopies.)
|
||
|
|
failed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here you might --force it to drop `important_file` if you [[trust]] your backup.
|
||
|
|
But `other.iso` looks to have never been copied to anywhere else, so if
|
||
|
|
it's something you want to hold onto, you'd need to transfer it to
|
||
|
|
some other repository before dropping it.
