  • I understand all of that. Sorry I didn’t explain it well.

    I have a RAID6 for data and a single HDD for system files. I’d like to move the HDD to an NVME/SSD. I suppose I could make another RAID with an additional NVME, but I’ve found it easier to deal with booting off a traditional drive.

    My solution for redundancy for the NVME is to just backup the bits that I need every night. These are usually just a few hundred megabyte database files. I’m curious if that’s a typical solution.

    edit: to clarify, it’s a software raid with mdadm.





  • At my last job, every time they added or removed someone’s key card access, the system would reboot and everyone would be locked out for like two minutes.

    We also had two floors that were connected by a fire stairwell, so you needed a card to re-enter the next floor.

    At least twice my card stopped working in the middle of the word day while I was standing in the stairwell and I assumed that they just fired me and assumed I’d see my own way out.

    Survived three layoffs at that company.
