[Expo-tech] status: expo laptop & expofiles

[Philip Sargent (Gmail)]

--rebooted and run software updates on expo laptop
--installed key on expo.survex.com so it can ssh to server
--updated 10 months-worth of changes to loser, tunneldata and expoweb repos
on the laptop using TortoiseHg

No room on the small 64GB SSD for any /expofiles/ or /music/. I suppose I
could upgrade it to a 120GB SSD.
Olly & I are liaising to get a new release of survex installed on it.


In other news: the raw photos and large videos that I removed from
/expofiles/ on the server last Weds. (see email 19th) amount to 13.7GB
/expofiles_bigstuff/. So it looks like a couple of double-sided DVDs or a
Blu-Ray disc will be needed. Or perhaps a couple of USB keys is better these
days.. £3 each whereas a 25GB Blu-Ray disc costs 90p.

The expo laptop had a folder /expofiles_offline/ containing 420MB of lidar
scans which should have restricted access. I guess this should be kept in
the same place as the archived /expofiles_bigstuff/.

/expofiles/ without that big stuff is now 42.3GB

Is there anything else of the same sort that we should gather together into
/expofiles_bigstuff/ ?

I had to edit the /etc/fstab to comment out a couple of lines before it
would boot properly.
Seems a bit cruel to unsuspecting users, given that just a hard drive was
missing. I presume this was the one
which is now bust (again?) /home/expo/expofiles and /home/expo/music .

Now running updates on it.
It also has a 4GB SD card in it.

Anything you think needs doing to it?
