  • My guess as a Linux admin in IT.

    I understand the fix takes ~5 minutes per system, must be done in person, and cannot be farmed out to users.

    There are likely conversations about alternatives or mitigations to/for crowdstrike.

    Most things were likely fixed yesterday. (Depending on staffing levels.) Complications could go on for a week. Fallout of various sorts for a month.

    Lawsuits, disaster planning, cyberattacks (targeting crowdstrike companies and those that hastily stopped using it) will go on for months and years.

    The next crowdstrike mistake could happen at any time…

    Zombie processes are hilarious. They are the unkillable package delivery person of the Linux system. They have some data that must be delivered before they can die. Before they are allowed to die.

    Sometimes just listening to them is all they want. (Strace or redirect their output anywhere.)

    Sometimes, the whole village has to burn. (Reboot)
















  • Kinda related: what if I install something like Debian/Ubuntu on it? Can I still use the NAS hardware in the same way?

    This question confuses me. Debian and Ubuntu can be setup to be NASes.

    NAS is a description of a mid-level function that various software provide a part of.

    Various file systems and volume managers can provide snapshots and rollbacks. To aid your research LVM, ZFS, and many others support snapshots.

    There are various ways to then expose the formatted space to the network. To aid research NFS, SMB, and iSCSI are options.

    Anyway, I hope this is helpful to someone.
