Missing docs on `oracleMode` for `znapzendzetup` #608

Closed stuckj closed 1 year ago

stuckj commented 1 year ago

I was running into problems on MacOS where too many snapshots would accumulate if I was offline for a long time (e.g., while commuting to work) which would lead to the inability for snapshots to be deleted on the source even after successfully syncing to the backup destination.

I just noticed you have a feature to address this you call out in the troubleshooting section of README.md in the repo, but it's not in the docs for znapzendzetup under features. Might be good to add it in there so it's in a place people might see if they're not familiar with Github. :)

Love the tool BTW. Thanks very much for making it. :)

Doh. Though I just tried that workaround and apparently oracleMode is not supported on MacOS.

I see, this was my misunderstanding. oracleMode is not a feature for znapzendzetup. It's a znapzend feature (which is documented on its man page). So, I shouldn't be modifying the setup I should be changing the launch daemon (or init script for Linux) to add the feature to the command line that launches znapzend as a daemonized service.

I'll close this issue.
