Hi

I am planning to add a Linux to my Win machine, dual boot. Long term I would like to get rid of Win completely, but for now I have no clue how that transition will go and how much I will switch between systems.

hi

i have realtimesync configured to start a ffs-mirror-action on plugin of a drive (backup of mails etc from desktop to external drive). however, when the backup is finished it starts again and keeps going, possibly because some files have changed meanwhile.
