Yes, they should have been scrubbing their pools, but I don't think this was bit rot. Millions of data errors is not what bit rot looks like. This looks exactly like bad hardware.
- ksec 5y agoServetheHome actually reported the hard drive LTT are using had higher failure rate than others. Even from a consumer hardware perspective. And they were suppose to be enterprise drive. It is just bad hardware, bad setup and bad everything all cramped together.
- mustache_kimono 5y agoI've never seen a HDD fail like that, but I'm willing to believe it's possible. I have seen read/write errors because of a buggy implementation of ALPM. But, agreed, whatever it was, if they were paying attention, they could have diagnosed and remediated well before they had any data loss.
