2·5 days agoI’m suggesting either using the secure erase utility built into your efi if available or using hdparm and calling secure erase.
https://grok.lsu.edu/article.aspx?articleid=16716
I suggest calling these utilities with no other drives connected.
True, but it’s not clear to me that both drives are exhibiting the behavior and it sounds more like a copy between two drives. I wouldn’t rule it out and do think it is a possibility, but in my professional experience drives fail much more frequently than controllers.
It makes sense to me to test the drives individually, in another system preferably, using smart long test, which is non-destructive. Next test other drives in this system. If there are errors, try changing out the SATA cables, too. If you can shuffle the data off the drives, do so and then try running them through a secure erase in another system. A bad drive should fail the same way in another system.
My other thought for probably not being the controller is that 4TB is a very long time for a sustained transfer to fail on a flakey component. Also, there are no reports of other errors.
Sounds like a bad drive, TBH. Not as much the platters but the electronics.
If you can move all the data off and do a secure erase on it, it will tell you all lot.
Honestly, the 90s games were mostly unreasonably difficult in order to keep people from beating them right away. Without the Internet, tips were often word of mouth or, if the game was popular enough, in a guide book.
With a+ cert and net+ cert, I have taken 10 years and continuously studied related fields to get to a reasonable pay. I should have done CCNA a long time ago, but never could motivate myself.
The last board suggested with 5 ports would handle 4 drives in raidz2.
This is smaller even. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hRBrxr/asrock-motherboard-970mpro3
I would prefer having the smaller board with the hba and putting 8-10 smaller drives in raidz3. That would give you 6 TB with three drives for failure to prevent loss.
Outside the drives, the cost would be under $200 for the board and the hba.
If you have an old system with two PCI-e 16 ports, then your cost is about $90 before you start buying drives.
I’m doing similar with a DDR3 system and spinning 1 TB disks. It’s fast enough to serve video streams.
Ok, so if you want to do a bunch of drives in a box:

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/yFWJ7P/crucial-bx500-4-tb-25-solid-state-drive-ct4000bx500ssd1
However, that’s expensive. I would go with spinning disks.
If you want to bring the cost down more,
You can drive the price down more by buying a used system.
The pile of SSDs will be easiest to stuff into a box.
You will need to get creative with cooling.
2·18 days agoI second reviewing your XMP settings. I have seen instability with more aggressive profiles.
You can try running any built in diagnostics or you could use memtest86+. It appears to work on UEFI systems.
This sounds like a hardware issue. If you are lucky, it is a keyboard, mouse, or something. Doesn’t sound like memory because you would possibly have memory errors or kernel panics.

13·30 days agoMany of the users here are attempting to replace Reddit with Lemmy. As we go along, we will create our own culture. I very much hope it doesn’t include panicky screaming in all caps.
Yeah, it’s pretty common with Fedora too I think. I didn’t even investigate and ended up making the final decision by gut. I was more interest in running an older established flavor than trying something new.
Hmm, you are right. I was thinking of flatpak. I had made it a habit to avoid those formats way back in my slashdot days and never revisited it.
I briefly considered Zorin and Bazzite on my journey from Mint. I dropped Zorin I think because I was looking for something that was on a newer kennel to support my new graphics card.
Bazzite I dropped because I think it looked like it was all snaps.
Running Fedora now. It’s a far stretch from the Red Hat I played with 20 years ago. I think after running Mint for so long,
Op, I have half a pallet. I could ship you one… From the middle of USA. It’s probably not worth the cost in shipping.
Aren’t German government agencies moving away from Windows? The lack of forced waste might be driving prices up.
1·2 months agoRun a PowerShell script from batch, but call it using start-process as administrator, using a variable for the path and also pass parameters to the script.
The two reasons to run proxmox here are one, to create external snapshots and two, to allow multiple operating systems to share your workstation. I keep a virtual Windows install for random windows os stuff on the same server.
If you are not getting the benefits of virtualization, then it makes sense to run bare metal.
More like I don’t want to complete task a that I had to abandon due to needs of business and probably only has 15 minutes of work, so I’ll push these other tasks around for the next 2 hours.
