  1. SSD death ☠️💀

    I am busy rebuilding the data from an SSD which died all of a sudden from one moment to the next without giving any warnings in any manner in any way.

    I always monitor SMART output of SSD drives & mechanical spinners (HDD)

    I've not seen any smart output indicating imminante dead

    This drive has acted like your girlfriend when she's just not in a good mood and without explanation says nothing to you in the morning, for hours.

    This hard crash, means that the S.M.A.R.T. monitoring hardware didn't have proper Communications with the integrated circuits on the SSD.

    The drive was always powered many times a month, never left without power for more than a week or so, thus that has not been a contributing factor to the SSD catastrophic failure

    The drive itself is fairly small.

    The data on this dead SSD I've backed up on remote drives connected in JBOD format to machines which I have running remotely.

    No ZFS on my backup machines

    • I want to run ZFS native
    • that means running a BSD OS on those machines
    • that also means I will need to backup / restore all data on those drives meaning
    • I will need 200% of the used HDD / SSD space on those machines
    • I need patience for that backup
    • I need expensive extra HDD's for that project
    • I won't pay USD 300 for a USD 120 HDD

    NO ZFS under these global SSD / HDD market prices

  6. I'm in love with Linux.

    It just decompressed a 2GB zip file in 2 seconds.

    The same file in Windows is still decompressing 🤣

  7. You can read fast file system drives in Linux, just modprobe the proper kernel module

    FFS is not UFS with extras, read the link provided if you are interested

  8. 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.

  9. @worldsendless @scottjenson My thoughts are actually dealing with way broader scope as you might think.

    Why do we need file names and even #filesystems for user-land files?

    Why do we need multiple "applications"?

    And so forth.

    So yes, while Scott and others try to improve the current situation with increments (which is very important!), I also think of leaving this local UI/UX optimum, throw lots of stuff away in order to reach a different optimum which is nearer to the global optimum.

  10. New article: Inside the XFS Filesystem.

    It splits the disk into independent Allocation Groups so multiple cores can work in parallel without blocking each other.

    XFS uses B+ trees for almost everything. Check it out here: internals-for-interns.com/post

  13. Thank you for your reaction. I considered the drive because I can still find it for the old price before the LLM price explosion.

  14. Western Digital

    has written that this SSD is for light and casual use

    What may happen if I use the drive to do a lot of IOPS in a almost server like environment?

    Well it just die an early death in a few months?

  15. I've recently finished a task set entrusted to me by a client. The task was executed 100% remotely with server farm(s) thousands of nautical miles away.

    Skillset used are

    • (remote) server VM management (XEN and ProxMox**)

    • Linux client server experience

    • VOIP (incl asterisk)

    • specific migration skills varying from simple looking updates (which can break custom hard coded scripts & programs PHP code, C code, etc) to full server migrations to higher versions often spanning more than two versional steps in between

    • filesystems in different Open Source OS where redundancy building of data is important

    • bare metal skills

    • BSD (limited yet good enough experience)

    • Bare metal server placement

    • Energy and heat distribution

    • logic

    • patience / patience / patience

    • KISS

    I get computing related tasks from this client for more than 30 years, which means that a solid basis of mutual trust has been build between us

    I love having my client feeling extra great again after this task set was completed.

    ** Including proxmox LB code!

  16. Wow - I had never heard of the "HFS pixel" in the Macintosh Finder before now. Is this common knowledge?

    From a post by @rezmason, mentioned in my feed by @splorp.

    From page 66 of "Encyclopedia Macintosh" (1990)

  17. Join @itguyeric and I THIS FRIDAY at Noon eastern. We'll be following up on last week's Into the Terminal with an episode of filesystems and filesytem layouts.
