<div dir="ltr">You could do a "low level" format on SCSI drives and we could resurrect really malcontent hard drives like that. In someway SATA drives are supposed to have some SCSI hardware capablitiies. Does anybody know how he could do that? Anyhow, it seems like you should do surgery on that drive and reload some kind of real basic linux like Puppy till your sure it won't misbehave anymore.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Aug 3, 2019 at 8:14 AM Brian O'Keefe <<a href="mailto:okeefe@cybermesa.com">okeefe@cybermesa.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p>Now the joy of migrating my email and browser data! BTW, my older
ACER has decided to open directories in FF instead of Nautilus.
Any idea of how to stop this bead behavior or why it started?<br>

<p>Howdy all,</p>
<p>I bought a on-sale laptop. It's an: ASUS VivoBook 15.6"
FHD Laptop, Quad-Core Ryzen 5 2500U Processor (up to 3.6
GHz) with Radeon Vega 8 Graphics, 8 GB DDR4, 256 GB M.2
SSD, 802.11ac Wi-Fi - F505ZA-DH51. It's a race car for me
at least. I downloaded Ubunu 19.04 and made a bootable USB
drive and installed. Boy is it good looking! I can't wait
to get all of my data migrated but I am. As you see the
SSD is not so large as the 1TB I have on my old ACER. I
thought that I was using about 45% disk space and was not,
of course, worried because the drive is so large capacity.
I never finished migrating all of my data from my previous
and hosed 500GBSSD that Mark helped, or actually did, save
so I have some scattered data on the ACER and on the
500SSD. In prepping to start moving stuff around I used
the GUI Disk Analyzer and very much to my surprise I found
files of up to 49GB!! I have 5 or 6 WINE programs I run
and that shows up as a 39GB folder. Now that makes no
sense at all, as is the case with several other folders. I
have a folder for my activism stuff and that's 29GB which
is outlandishly wrong. So the Disk analyzer is wrong or
somehow these folders have been growing on their own,
bloating like a president's ego. My Q is, what console
tool would give me the disk usage in a tree-like format (I
know not like a GUI but a list from highest to lowest size
of folders). Is this possible?</p>
<p>It appears that if the GUI Disk Analyzer is correct then
I can lose a few items, like the wine programs, VMs and
other unnecessaries and have plenty of space on the new
drive. I had planned to use the 1TB drive as a storage
device for my 10,000+ photos, etc. This would work but I
don't trust the GUI and don't want to start some weird
event and lose data nor do I want to transfer mostly
useless data that is actually a couple Gigs and not the
tens of GB I am seeing.</p>
<p>I'll check out the forums for a console command but i
thought I'd go to the best first.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>Brian<br>
