  7. End-to-End Storage Drive Analytics Platform Complete! 🚀

    Spent the past weeks on my Data Engineering Zoomcamp final project. Excited to share an end-to-end platform analyzing Backblaze hard drive data to bridge enterprise telemetry and consumer accessibility.

    The pipeline ingests daily SMART snapshots into GCS, builds a star schema with dbt, and serves insights via Streamlit dashboard showing failure rates by brand and model. Infrastructure is managed with Terraform; the warehouse was optimized using partitioning to improve query performance.

    To increase accessibility, switching to open-source/free-ish tools so anyone can dive in without a cloud signup (and plus my trial expired 🙈). My goal is providing drive reliability data so creators, homelabbers, business, or casual users feel informed about their next storage purchase. 😊

  8. Linux 7.1 finally features the improved NTFS driver!

    The current versions of Linux feature the present-time Paragon NTFS3 driver that is included in the kernel to add support for NTFS file system to it, so that users can finally mount the NTFS partitions, especially when it comes to Windows system partitions, as long as the Windows system is fully shut down.

    Prior versions of Linux included an early read-only NTFS driver that allowed you to read files from NTFS partitions but not write to them. This was a severe limitation to those who needed to write files to those partitions, especially when they needed to repair Windows installations, such as Windows XP, which uses NTFS as the default file system for the system partition.

    While the present version of Windows uses NTFS as the default file system, Linux 7.1 now features the improved NTFS driver to address the shortcomings of the two drivers. This improved NTFS driver was under development for four years under the name of “NTFS Plus” by the veteran Linux developer, Namjae Jeon, who gave us the Linux exFAT driver, and has been submitted for pull request for the Linux 7.1 merging window, as you can see here.

    Shortly afterwards, this pull request has been approved for inclusion in the source code of Linux 7.1, which means that the first release candidate of Linux 7.1, which is expected to release on April 27th, will feature the new NTFS driver. When building the kernel, you can enable this new NTFS driver to replace the existing Paragon NTFS3 driver using the NTFS_FS Kconfig variable.

    This new, resurrected NTFS driver provides full write support for NTFS file system with better stability compared to the present-time NTFS3 driver. It also provides support for mkfs (file system maker to format partitions using mkfs.ntfs) and for fsck (file system checker to check partition integrity using fsck.ntfs), and uses the modern Linux features, such as folios for improved performance and IOmap for better I/O operations. This driver can be compiled as a module, which can be found as ntfs.

    We expect that the new NTFS driver dethrone the current NTFS3 driver as soon as Linux 7.1 becomes publicly available!

  9. Partitioning Hard Drives: DiskPart

    DiskPart is a partition management program for the Amiga developed by John Hertell with full RDB support. It was designed as a pure GadTools application and runs directly under Kickstart 3.x without relying on external libraries beyond the ROM.

  11. I prezzi degli hard drive esterni su Apple Store sono aumentati, con un rincaro significativo. Ad esempio, un SanDisk da 4TB è passato da circa 500 a 1.200 dollari, a causa della forte domanda di chip per l'AI.

    fortunately, it's part of a #RAID, the important stuff is also backed up off-site, and I've even tested those backups somewhat recently.

    No surprise the #harddrive on that computer failed by wear: it was #formatted a LOT of times! 😅️
    Also, it had few ram, so it probably #swapped heavily all the time...
