I’ve been setting up a new Proxmox server and messing around with VMs, and wanted to know what kind of useful commands I’m missing out on. Bonus points for a little explainer.
Journalctl | grep -C 10 'foo' was useful for me when I needed to troubleshoot some fstab mount fuckery on boot. It pipes Journalctl (boot logs) into grep to find ‘foo’, and prints 10 lines before and after each instance of ‘foo’.
I could very easily, I’ve just only use rsync a handful of times for one-off files or small directories. Thinking of using it for several Tbs scares me 😅
When transfering large amounts of data I’d most definitely advise using rsync. Something fails, connection falls and everything is okay as it’ll pick up where it left off.
