I'm sure you're right and I may well switch it back to the 4B at some point, if only to reclaim the 8gig Pi5 for something more demanding. At the moment though it can stay where it is, I don't have a back up of the previous installation so it would be just more work.
You should find going from Pi 5 to PI 4 much easier as the same OS installation should run as is - just swap all drives including the boot media and power it on.
Good to know I met my goalEDIT, to add that I have just realised why I recognised the name 'thagrol'. My fstab, now on it's third or fourth iteration, is largely based on your fstab guide and your NAS guide has also been a great help. Also I am thinking of trying to automate rsync operations at some point and I have downloaded your cron guide to use as my road map, although I haven't got into it yet.
These guides are very well produced, they are comprehensive and easy to follow and more importantly, I think, they inspire confidence. So, thanks for that you have helped me a lot.
and glad to have been of help. Thanks.Statistics: Posted by thagrol — Sat Apr 13, 2024 2:24 pm
