I mean, the crew part of it is water proof, right? It has to be air tight... I'm guessing there are things on the "outside" that might still have issues?

Sure, it doesn't bother me a whole bunch, I just thought I'd point out that, at least with Fedora, ZoL is occasionally behind tracking the most recent kernel release.

> ZFS modules do "break" often due to internal API changes, but the fix is usually shipped in ZFS stable before the kernel itself is shipped. Only people who follow ZoL development closely ever see the sausage being made. Eh, i

Who is the main alternative to Coinbase when it comes to Bitcoin? (I've used Coinbase in the past, and would like to know for the future...)

Oh, this is going to be great. Thank you for the link! And, replacing disks one by one would require me to buy 3 disks instead of 1. I did that the last time I grew my array :-/

shrug I knew plenty about ZFS at the time - just not that particular fact. I was also making the point that "make a new vdev" doesn't solve that particular problem. Overall, I'm quite happy with ZFS.

I have a core file server that has a 9TB RAID-Z array in it. This server uses key-based authentication to connect to all of my other hosts - my desktop, VPS, work systems, etc and uses rsync to copy any changes to a locally maintained copy.

Of course not. I go in, I vote, the vote is recorded electronically, and a piece of paper that only indicates who was voted for is spit out. No personally identifiable information. It's not like this is hard. We were doing paper secret

If we had paper trails, this claim could be even more confidently asserted.

Are paleontologists and paleobotanists different from "animal historians?"

Some are that complex. There are commercial systems that can essentially land a plane all by itself, called CAT IIIb. The pilot takes over after the plane is completely on the ground. In the future the planes will probably be able to taxi w

Thankfully the particular website in question already spits out a file listing for you.

What? No, it works fine with http out of the box. From the man page: GNU Wget is a free utility for non-interactive download of files from the Web. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols, as well as retrieval through HTTP proxies.

That's why it's a bug?

I come from many years of mdadm use, sorry :-) Just so I understand, I should be able to run through whatever the final recommendation is for detecting orphans on the new pool with identical results as if it were run on the original pool, t

by luke0016 9y ago
I understand - what I meant to say is that I cannot be sure that the array never ran into an ENOSPC issue prior to the snapshot. Given that, should I keep the old array around until I can do whatever is recommended to detect potential orpha

by luke0016 9y ago
As far as I know, it has never experienced an ENOSPC error. It was mentioned elsewhere that a procedure is being developed to detect orphaned files that arise from this bug. Would it be a good idea for me to keep the original array around l

I have a fairly specific question - I'm in the process of migrating a large array onto another disk using zfs send and receive (6TB). It's been at it for about 2 days now. After the migration, I plan to destroy and recreate a larg

It's the opposite of fission. Fission produces energy by "destroying" matter (splitting it into smaller parts). Fusion produces energy by creating it (combining it into larger parts). The difference in mass between the inputs

I'm not sure how you come up with $10. Drives regularly last 5+ years. A single 1TB drive at $60 saves me $240 over Backblaze if it lasts 5 years. Throw in the safe, and I still save $180. Two drives and a safe? Still saving $120. I ha

by luke0016 9y ago
Well, I did suggest a safe. But sure, there are other ways it could be destroyed. As for failure, presumably it's already a back up, so assuming the source didn't simultaneously fail, I can just replace the external drive. If this

It's fun to look for cycles. Looks like "Space and Beyond," "Journey under the Sea," and "By Balloon to the Sahara" could each provide a lifetime of reading...
