I have a bunch of removable storage devices and was planning on storing my data across
|
||||
all of them. I've run into an annoyance, and would like to see if anybody has any
|
||||
ideas.
|
||||
|
||||
My goal was to have the full file tree on all the devices, but only a subset of the
|
||||
annexed data. Where I have run into trouble is removing data from the system. It
|
||||
seems that the "git annex unused" command checks remote branches as well as local ones
|
||||
when determining whether an object is referred to.
|
||||
|
||||
This means that if I remove a file that is stored locally, "git annex unused" doesn't
|
||||
report the corresponding object as unused until I either connect and update all
|
||||
removable storage *or* remove the remote corresponding to the removable storage. I
|
||||
posted a bug about this inconsistency named
|
||||
[[bugs/git annex unused considers remote branches which makes it inconsistent]].
|
||||
|
||||
If I used the removable storage as a special remote, then I wouldn't have this issue,
|
||||
but I also wouldn't be able to conveniently use the files on it and manage the repo
|
||||
from it either.
