What site is that tracker thing?

Well i don’t think they are trolling i imagine they legitamately don’t realize that is what the poster is wanting. It’s not very clear

They are requesting a context menu option, no? And the ability to move multiple items?

You can copy as many as youd like too. What more do they want?

It does have those abilities. Does op just want to rename them?

I believe you can set up a http stream and then have others connect to it

I use the app it is for android but it already has that feature: https://paste.tchncs.de/upload/bear-wolf-eagle

I use material files and when you press the cut icon, it literally says “move to” while you are selecting the destination

Where does it write the file

You mean before?

I have decided to use rrsync to do this.

Im using btrfs on the back drive but using ext4 on the remote devices. Wont the snapshots, if sent to a remote device be the same size as the original data?

I’ve tried it before but i want a situation where i dont need to use the ssh agent. I think i’m gonna go with using rrsync

Yeah this is what im leaning towards

I use it too but i like rsync better for backups

I probably will eventually. I put btrfs on it and it works pretty well. Im a little iffy on the windows driver but i tested obs and it can write over the network just fine.

Yeah it seems like it was a permissions error. I set the tight permissions and now i have it working

Ok i’m running into some issues. I have formatted with btrfs but immediately it does not work when attempting to mount.

I had it mounted and then set up with fstab, test installing some games to it but the second i ejected the device and then reattached it it cannot be mounted.

I get the error

An error occurred while accessing 'wd_black5tb', the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting system-managed device /dev/sdb1: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error

I also installed winbtrfs with chocolatey but the drive fails to show up once plugged in and i dont see the drive anywhere

I’m not really worried about performance on windows since i will only very occasionally be plugging it in there. Ive never heard of udf but will check it out too

I’m leaning toward btrfs. Gonna set it up tonight and test. Is there any major differences from ext4 i should know? I know it has snapshots but i read about if you dont use the right kind of drives it can corrupt data, is thus true or not really something i should worry about?

So i mostly play older games (half life, skyrim, dishonored, etc) i have no issues with the mechanical drive for these. Now admittedly the larger games like skyrim i havent tried on linux only on windows but i dont see why it would be an issue.

I will probably eventually get a ssd for gaming and make the hdd purely for storage.

I have already recorded to this drive from the windows device with no issues. It is not intended to be super high quality tho. I just dont know if running over the network will go as smooth.

Rn, im leaning towards using btrfs bc it seems the performance speed between it and ext4 will be negligible and i will be testing out the driver for windows and obs over the network.
