SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Streamlines and coordinates multi-drive storage management for homelabs, reducing manual overhead by providing a single framework to monitor capacity, verify backups, detect duplicates, and organize files across primary and backup disks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-drive coordination: synchronizes data across GoogleDrive (primary) and backup mirrors to maintain a consistent triple-copy setup.
  • Duplicate detection and cleanup: identifies redundant files and proposes safe cleanup strategies to reclaim space.
  • Capacity monitoring and alerts: continuously tracks usage across all drives and surfaces actionable thresholds and plans.
  • Backup verification: compares actual content across mirrors using apparent-size measurements to ensure data integrity.
  • File organization and consolidation: restructures and renames files to maintain a predictable directory layout and simplify future audits.

Quick Start

Load CONVENTIONS.md to review the current storage state, then run a dry-run to plan the next action before making any changes.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor capacity and verify backups across multiple homelab drives?

You can preview storage actions using dry-run previews to plan capacity monitoring, deduplication, and file organization before executing changes across multi-drive homelab setups.

What is the best way to detect duplicate files and reclaim space in a homelab?

Homelab storage management identifies redundant files across primary and backup disks to propose safe cleanup strategies, reclaiming space while enforcing safety steps before modification.

Can I use rsync to synchronize data across GoogleDrive and local mirrors?

Yes, homelab storage management coordinates rsync operations to synchronize data across GoogleDrive primary storage and local backup mirrors, maintaining predictable directory layouts and updating institutional memory documents.

Does homelab storage management support dry-run previews before modifying files?

Yes, the framework provides dry-run previews to plan backup and deduplication actions safely, updating CONVENTIONS.md and SYMBOL-INDEX.md only after verifying intended changes across drives.

How do I organize and consolidate files to maintain a predictable directory layout?

Homelab storage management restructures and renames files across multi-drive setups to maintain predictable directory layouts, simplifying future audits and coordinating file organization across primary and backup disks.
