/home/coyotebak would be in the raid, but something in the system 
/backupdisk/ as a mount point would not be in the raid. But I have mount 
points scattered about this system, literaaly all over that just work, 
since when is /mnt some special thing?  its just an empty dir I can 
mount any block thing to. one furinstance is an /sshnet directory, 
inside of which is a few nore directories that I mount the rest of my 
cnc and 3d printers to using sshfs, so they are a direct link to the 
/home/me directories of every machine on the premises. I have a script 
in my private bin directory that mounts them all. I get tired of 
repeating my user pw while the script is running, but it just works.

Or are you saying I should mkdir that mount point in the rad10, and then 
mount one of these SSD's to it?  Sounds like the long way around the 
bush but it might work, I'll try it. But that would be forever recursive 
w/o excluding that dir from the copy.

And I just found in the rsync man page --bwlimit=#1024 blocks/second 
with optional kmg as multipliers. Maybe that is what I need, say 
--bwlimit=5m which would limit the destination writes to nominally half 
what I see dd doing toward the end of writing an iso to an u-sd card.

There is also a --exclude=PATTERN to keep it from recursing to that 
subdir of the raid.  But why bother, move the mount point out of the 
raid's view by using the /mnt or /media points.

Food for experimentation, thank you Felix.

Thanks Felix.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
