+I take it all the above requires mounting an sshfs filsystem of the remote client to run the git-annex or the assistant \"locally\" on the desktop or laptop. Or am I missing something.
+
+For the usb usecase a normal mount would suffice of course.
+
+The lack of automation means running a rsync script from (or to) the phone is easier. Not as clever though :( and means running a separate \"system\" for distributing files to the phone.
+
+Thanks again!

+Just a question about other peoples' annex usage. I've got one uber-annex (in ~/annex of course) where I keep ALL THE THINGS, movies, music, pictures, whatever.
+
+It's very big, of course. And I worry about doing anything unusual with it (like trying out direct mode) because, hey, that's all my stuff.
+
+Like, just now, I tried flipping it into direct mode, and a handful of files stayed symlinks, which weirded me out. (Maybe because I had the assistant running while I switched it, and that caused chaos?) Then I flipped it back to indirect, and a bunch of files were left un-tracked, as real files rather than links! I kind of freaked out, and did a big "git annex add" to add them all back. I haven't left a bug report because it's not something I want to try again experimentally to reproduce, I just want my repo back, you know?
+
+Anyways, this kind of thing might not happen if I kept multiple small repos. I was wondering if anybody else worked that way, and what advantages/disadvantages you've found compared to having one super-repo.

+That's an interesting question. Personally, I have two annexes. One for my \"digital library\": movies, music, ebooks, downloads, everything I want to keep but was not created by me. I don't want to loose them because getting them back would be expensive and cumbersome. The other is my personal archive for Photos and Videos I've taken, which are valuable as they contain many memories which would be impossible to recreate if lost. With the first one, I'm experimenting quite a lot, with the second one I'm very conservative. Hope that helps.

+Is that really unsafe? Because I did that and the switch to direct mode seemed to leave a lot of files still as links, and when I panicked and switched back to indirect mode, a whole lot of stuff seemed to have become unannexed and I reannexed it.
