    Thanks to the journalless #exFAT file system for this shit after getting severe corruption due to SD adapters & #Linux software fault, now I have to manually renaming all of these recovered files that most of them are my PVR files, encoded videos and some pictures that I did it in the past. Even though it already recovered all of the lost files after I ran chkdsk on Windows, there are some of my lost files are starting to be damaged, showing incorrect file contents, and even completely unusable which it is really miserable to feel like that.
    I really hate exFAT so much, seriously :yeyuedaohe_sick:

    Can't rename "File" to "file" on an exFAT drive in Linux? Learn why case-only renames fail, how exFAT compares filenames, and the simple workaround.

    I made a full circle on large data #backup options and am now back to #rsync. The difference is that I’m now much more confident at running headless data sync by cron.

    Data origin -> DAS -> #Hetzner Storage Box

    It looks like 3-2-1, and I’m now all set to migrate my family from #iCloud to #Immich and #OpenCloud.

    Also, the DAS is #exFAT, which allows my siblings to just detach it from my #homelab to have data exported in case of my sudden disappearance by any reason.

    Why does #Windows fragment files on #exfat when you write them onto an empty drive one by one after each other?
    WTF?!?

    Does it try to be smart somehow or what is going on here? Now I need to defrag this shit even though I copied the files onto it just now.

    Sigh.

    Additional question how often can you defrag an SSD before it tells you to fuck off?

    (Still microcontroller things that need one file to be in a single consecutive blob on the disk).

    I've just moved a number of large files that I do not use often from an active partition to a backup partition.

    What is odd is that the access speed to the active partition has increased significantly. Since that should not be possible, that must have to do with the manner in which the active partition is accessed by the Android operating system. Some research required.

    RE: mamutovo.cz/@xcabal05/11627160

    Původně jsem měl NVMe disk zformátovaný na #NTFS. Včera jsem zjistil, že po zformátování disku na #exFAT se rychlost zápisu zdvojnásobila na 1 GB/s. Rychlost čtení dosahuje také 1 GB/s což je asi i reálný limit USB 3.2 Gen 2. Špatná propustnost je vlastnost NTFS nebo jeho ovladač je v #Fedora Linux tak neefektivní?

    Darn, this #macos and #exFAT easter egg bit me again.

    Trying to rsync files from one external drive (APFS) to another one (exFAT) slows down before my eyes. from 900kB/s to 600 kB/2 in a couple of hours. 1,1 Tb of data, millions of files and moving the files to an external exFAT formatted drive seems like a mission impossible with no heroes around.

    F...ck.

    💾 Recovered my external drive using the legendary testdisk utility.

    macOS wouldn’t mount it, diskutil was hanging, and Finder showed nothing. Turned out the partition table was marked as “deleted” after an improper eject.

    TestDisk helped me reassign it as primary, and boom - data back, no loss.

    🧠 Lesson: ExFAT is fragile. Always eject properly.

    Linux 6.15 brings improved exFAT file system performance for file deletions!

    Linux 6.15’s exFAT file deletion performance boosted

    A recent development in the upcoming Linux 6.15 kernel has been spotted, because there was a big improvement to the exFAT file system implementation in relation to how it deletes the files when the “discard” mount option is used. This improvement significantly saves time as a test file after the merge has been deleted in 1.6 seconds, compared to more than 4 minutes of the total time taken.

    This pull request makes sure that, upon file deletion, it discards a group of contiguous clusters (that is, clusters that are next to each other) in batch instead of discarding them one by one. This was because in prior kernels, such as 6.14, “if the discard mount option is enabled, the file’s clusters are discarded when they are freed. Discarding clusters one by one will significantly reduce performance. Poor performance may cause soft lockup when lots of clusters are freed.”

    The change has been introduced in commit a36e0ab. Since then, the pull request has been merged to the kernel and it will be integrated to the first release candidate of Linux 6.15. A simple performance benchmark has been verified with the following commands:

    # truncate -s 80G /mnt/file# time rm /mnt/file

    In detail, the performance of this filesystem without this commit is poor, totalling about 4 minutes and 46 seconds in real time, with 12 seconds of system time. In contrast to the patched kernel, it totals about 1 second in real time, with 17 milliseconds of system time.

    It’s a huge improvement!
