No problem, just tab complete your way around the filesystem.

You could just swap the two disks and see if it follows the drive or the link.

If the drive, rma it. I don’t put a lot of faith in smart data.

Usually means a failing drive in my experience.

Ntfs isn’t going to care or even be aware of the hypervisor FS, zfs or btrfs would both work fine.

Making sure you don’t have misaligned sectors, is pretty much the only major pitfall. Make sure you use paravirt storage and network drivers.

Edit: I just realized you’re asking for the opposite direction, but ultimately the same guidelines apply. It doesn’t matter what filesystems are on what, with the above caveats.

Some systems require more power than a single connector can supply, so they double them up for higher amps.

You should be fine, but pics would be useful.

Yes. I’ve always splurged on nice cards for my personal stuff. I think it’s more about the write behavior of Linux than anything else, since I’ve never had a card die in my camera.

I refuse to use a pi with SD at this point. Saving $50 isn’t worth my time to reinstall things.

I couldn’t count the number of failed sd cards I’ve seen across all my fingers and toes.

I’ve seen like 4 ssds in my entire life fail. Plus you could just do mdraid 1 / btrfs across 2 of them if you want

Why not just connect an ssd via USB and save yourself the hassle and torment?

I don’t think there is anything else free. Best you can do is host with someone like ovh that has enough resources to provide basic protection.

What’s your budget?

The internet was designed to route around failure. Taking down an isp upstream wouldn’t generally impact internal routing, or routing between them if they’re peering.

You can probably just buy a new atx power supply and drop them in. The standard hasn’t really changed, just added new connectors and outputs.

If it’s an AT power supply you’ll need to find a used computer place. You can tell its AT if the power switch physically connects to the power supply (its actually switching the wall voltage) instead of the motherboard.

No, but developers are free to implement things in whatever crazy way they can dream up.

I’d recommend avoiding spinning disks and going all ssd if possible.

You can get 12v in atx power supplies.

You may want to consider something like a Lenovo tiny with a few large ssds.

I spent a year tracking down random afci circuit breaker trips, until I realized it was my powerline Ethernet. Never again.

Lspci doesn’t care about drivers. What’s lshw say?

Sounds like maybe a fake card or something. Do you also have a 3060 in there?

If you need support outside of business hours, you’re fucked.

Friend had a network misconfig on their side take his server out on Friday night and they didn’t fix it until Monday.

SMB.

The windows nfs implementation sucks, but everything talks SMB.
