I’m not seeing any image attachments in case you added that.

Some brand of NVME SSDs are the only thing I’ve seen live driver issues on where the disk appeared invisible until drivers were installed, in one case the pre-installed Intel SSD drivers had to be disabled too because they were incorrectly taking priority.

Is it out mounted? Can gparted or equivalent tools see it? If it’s visible then for some reason it didn’t mount automatically. If you can’t see it, probably drivers.

You can start with timed bans, so they get the point

It counts as long as barriers are on

External drives expect you to ensure writes complete first. If you don’t then smart software with copy-on-write and consistency checks can survive power loss (at the cost of losing recent changes). Other software which assumes a reliable drive can get wrecked.

Lots of file systems can not handle random power losses because they don’t force continous integrity of the disk file system, that’s why FAT formatted drives so often get corrupted

This depends entirely on the motherboard because many newer ones are fully capable of disconnecting the battery and maintaining it intelligently like smartphones does

I recommend a UPS, even a small one is fine for this. Spinning disks don’t like frequent starts and stops, especially not unplanned powerless ones.

At least you should be running a journaling file system or something similar which tolerates power loss decently (you’ll still see data corruption, but the file system won’t die). If you run software that doesn’t tolerate power loss well, then you absolutely need an UPS

Absolutely, that’s a polyglot file

Sometimes you can. Or just bruteforce a colliding pattern that matches to print that instead, because why not

Biometric is the worst lmao

Passkeys or hardware based security keys is where it’s at

Too long didn’t train the AI on it

Too many comments (fills the context window)

No, different things with the same name

Probably reverse proxy too if it’s really unstable

FYI digging through documentation reminded me of squashfs. It does what it sounds like. But it’s read only, so you would have to use an overlay FS to cache changes and then overwrite the whole squashfs volume at once to sync changes.

Both are possible but read only is more common

RAM drive is when you hold the entire file system in RAM, it’s used for stuff like Linux Live CD boot with no writable storage but you can use it for anything.

Make sure you’re actually filling the volume, and also keep in mind reporting may be different (with or without filesystem index metadata, etc)

Also, you can simply use regular file systems and compressed files, and then use a RAM drive (assuming you have enough RAM free) and access the files that way instead

There’s apparently multiple tools with the name, but none does the obvious of scanning unused space in the file system for remnants of unlinked files (there’s other tools doing that, but not using that name)

Could be that you loaded an incomplete set the second time…? 🤷
