Paco Hope on Nostr: I'm having NAS fun with failing drives and such. My #TrueNAS is a much bigger mess ...

I'm having NAS fun with failing drives and such. My #TrueNAS is a much bigger mess than I realised. I had a bunch of drives fail at the same time. It has caused me to look very carefully at each drive, its specs, and how it is behaving. It is shocking that it works at all. I have made embarrassing errors that I"ll admit after I've fixed them. 😀

Nothing with multi-TB NASses is fast. (at least none of MINE are). So replacing drives, resilvering, replacing, resilvering, etc. will take **days**.

I have dead drives I need replacing AND I have live drives that need to be replaced once it's safe to do. Ugh.
