  1. The resilvering finished yesterday and I moved everything from the 8TB drives onto the new array. Now wiping all of the remaining old 8TB drives with random data before selling them off. Also running #badblocks on an older 4TB drive (ALWAYS treat old drives as sus) and one of the 10TB ones since it encountered an error during the normal random data wipe.

    So far Seagate Exos is proving to be very fast. They have a good rep, so hoping they all hold up well over time. Since most of the load is #Plex, it shouldn't be too punishing. #storage #homelab #zfs #TrueNAS #TrueNASCore

  2. It's just good manners to run #badblocks with the write option before listing your old hard drives for sale. Plus, easy drive wipe! #storage #homelab

  3. So yesterday when I got home I wasn't greeted by what I was expecting; I saw the selection screen instead of results of the scans. I still have to ask the Mrs if she knew anything happened with the power.

    Oh and another setback; we are getting fiber I was hoping that when *they* had the ground open they could also place a tube between my house and my shed. They used a machine to push the fiber from the street to my door ✌️😬

  4. So another update from me, because sometimes things go slow. I've booted a live image and the program is running a check of my four 4TB drives (been running for 86 hrs and done 84% I think the last time I checked).

    I did change my decision to use & . After deliberate consideration I've switched my choice to with .
    — no longer NILFS2 because it doesn't have compression and ZFS even includes the kitchen sink

  5. Vergesst #badblocks, was ein Scheiß.
    Das hier funktioniert:

    Über die neue HDD einen Cryptolayer aufspannen (ganz ohne Blockchain):
    cryptsetup open /dev/sdX sdX --type plain --cipher aes-xts-plain64

    Das sofort eingehängte virtuelle entschlüsselte Laufwerk mit Nullen zudumpen:
    shred -v -n 0 -z /dev/mapper/sdX

    Anschließend den Inhalt dieses virtuellen Laufwerks mit reinrassigen Nullen vergleichen, wenn das irgendwo fehlschlägt, ist die HDD korrupt:
    cmp /dev/zero /dev/mapper/sdX

  6. So viele gelangweilte Linux-Hacker da draußen, aber keiner schreibt ein HDD-Testtool, das nicht auf Disketten ausgelegt ist. Wie schwer kann das schon sein? #Badblocks

  7. Stellt sich raus: #badblocks kann aufgrund seiner 32-Bit-Architektur nicht mit 18-TB-HDDs umgehen, einfaches -b 4096 reicht nicht mehr. Aber wenn du die Platte in Alibipartitionen partitionierst und dann badblocks auf diese Partitionen ansetzt, dann läuft es…

  8. If you have a S.M.A.R.T. monitored disk and get "unreadable (pending) sectors" or "failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED" or "Offline uncorrectable sectors" errors or such, here's how to find out which file system blocks and files are affected, and how to force the about to be failing disk to reallocate (map out) those sectors:
