This option is related to `--time-limit`, but stops after processing X
|
||
bytes. For example, I often need to free up a certain amount of space on
|
||
a disk and want `git-annex move` to stop after it has copied a specified
|
||
amount of data:
|
||
|
||
git annex move --to otherdisk --byte-limit 3G
|
||
git annex drop --auto --byte-limit 500m
|
||
git annex get --byte-limit 500m
|
||
|
||
I've been using some `annex.diskreserve` trickery now and then to
|
||
accomplish this, but it's a bit cumbersome and also not a very precise
|
||
way to specify the amount I want to copy/move/get. The last example
|
||
would also be a useful command to limit the traffic when I'm connecting
|
||
via mobile – get as much as possible, but don't blow the mobile quota.
