Damn. 2/8 drives in my array have died. I was going to replace them, but at this price point I might just delete some porn instead.
Or buy cloud storage.
Don't buy cloud storage that's what they want you to do
this is the answer.
Just upvote.
this is not the answer.
is this a question?
is it a question?
is what a question?
that's the question!
Wait, what? That's it? So, is it that neither this nor that is the answer, but that it is the question, unless that is what it is, or what is it?
Well, it is what it is, but, I mean, that is surely not what this is all about, is it really?
I'm loving the block feature on Lemmy. If you realize someone's just doing low effort spam, you don't have to read their comments any more!
I hated that part of Reddit.
IKR! last I checked I had over 300 users on my block list.
super helpful for ignoring trolls.
If two are dead, you probably should get at least one of them replaced. I'm assuming you are running a RAID 6 with zero redundancy at this point.
I'm on RAID1 on btrfs, so I just rebalance and remove the disks as they break.
O, that is a real cool feature. So you just lose space then as they fail, not redundancy.
It sure is!
In my case it's vulnerable while I re-balance.
btrfs can work with mixed-size disks and change RAID-levels on-line, too.
