Khurram Wadee ✅<p>My experience with <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/FlashDrives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FlashDrives</span></a> recently has been mixed. I have no problem in encrypting them with <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/LUKS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LUKS</span></a>, using <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/cryptsetup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cryptsetup</span></a> or with formatting a partition with <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Btrfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Btrfs</span></a>, for instance, using <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/gparted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gparted</span></a> and doing other tinkering with <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gnome</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/disks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disks</span></a>. But the problem has been with the actual drives themselves. The cheaper ones seem to have quite a few bad sectors, etc. and so they’re not really reliable for medium term storage.</p><p>1/2</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Hardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hardware</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/StorageDevices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StorageDevices</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Unix</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/GNU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNU</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Fedora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fedora</span></a></p>

Khurram Wadee ✅<p>I wonder if anyone can help me with a <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/USB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USB</span></a> issue. I’ve got a new flash drive on which I want to put a Linux directory structure on {with <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/EXT4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EXT4</span></a>, encrypted if possible). However, using the <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNOME</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/disks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disks</span></a> utility to <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/Format" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Format</span></a> it apparently works but when I go into the disk’s root directory, I can’t create any files – I get an input/output error. If I reformat the disk as a <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/FAT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FAT</span></a> (windows(disk then it works again and so I’m thinking there must be some problem with the utility I’m using.</p>

Disks by that time were already over N sectors in size, so these errors were inevitable during rebuilds after one <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/disk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disk</span></a> failure. In other words, array failure was guaranteed for RAID 5 at the sizes of the time. The same would soon be true of RAID 6 as disk capacities increased and URE rates remained about the same.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/storage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>storage</span></a></p>
