cloning root filesystem without suffering to possible interruptions. useful when moving a running system to a new partition. also works as a solid backup solution.

In this example I am returning all the files in /usr/bin that weren't put there by pacman, so that they can be moved to /usr/local/bin where they (most likely) belong. Show Sample Output
The files are automatically uncompressed when they reach the destination machine. This is a fast way to backup your server to your local computer while it's running (shutting down services is recommended). A file named "exclude.txt" is needed at /tmp/ containing the following : /dev/* /media/* /mnt/* /proc/* /sys/* /tmp/* /home/*/.local/share/Trash /home/*/.gvfs /home/*/.cache /home/*/.thumbnails /etc/fstab /lib/modules/*/volatile/.mounted /var/run/* /var/lock/* /var/tmp/* /var/cache/apt/archives/* /lost+found/* Show Sample Output
Default volume group in Ubuntu is ubuntu-vg and the logical volume is ubuntu-lv, so the provided command will resize the disk to utilize 100% of the available space. Show Sample Output
preserve all except context and xattr. useful when moving a running system to a new partition.
In order to create a new encrypted filing system managed by cryptmount,
you can use the supplied 'cryptmount-setup' program, which can be used
by the superuser to interactively configure a basic setup.
Alternatively, suppose that we wish to setup a new encrypted filing
system, that will have a target-name of "opaque". If we have a free
disk partition available, say /dev/hdb63, then we can use this directly
to store the encrypted filing system. Alternatively, if we want to
store the encrypted filing system within an ordinary file, we need to
create space using a recipe such as:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/opaque.fs bs=1M count=512
.
cryptmount --generate-key 32 opaque
.
cryptmount --prepare opaque
.
mke2fs /dev/mapper/opaque
.
cryptmount --release opaque
.
mkdir /home/crypt
.
cryptmount -m opaque
.
cryptmount -u opaque

cd into the directory that contains the file. this is just the usual move command but shortcut'd. say you wanted to move a photo img1.png from ~/photos/holidayphotos into the parent directory which is ~/photos command would be: ~/photos/holidayphotos$ mv img1.png .. I use Ubuntu so this'll work in debian but not sure what else.
