Hello, could you please recommend me a reliable and fast disk for a server which should host 3-4 virtual machines, which use a large data blocks ( eg 2TB volume for VM: zfs create -sV2T -o volblocksize=4k -o volmode=dev zvmpool/zcloud-disk0 ) At the moment I found those quite promising...

Hello everyone. I have a computer with Windows, Arch and Lubuntu and all these systems are booting from a Multi-Boot. Recently, I decided to download freebsd for some tests and decided to put the OS in my multi-boot. I allocated 20 GB, installed in UEFI/GPT and made 3 partitions from UFS...

Hello,who can explain what is meaning "Non-medium error" in this output. I think my hard disks have some problems. Disk1 root@nshost2:/home/david # smartctl -a -d cciss,0 /dev/ciss0 smartctl 6.5 2016-05-07 r4318 [FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p4 amd64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-16, Bruce Allen...

Hello. I'm planning to set up a Raspberry Pi server and, among other things, use hard disks with USB adapters for NAS with RAID. I want the disks to spin down after some time of inactivity. I experimented with an USB adapter and one SATA disk on my x86_64 desktop, and using ataidle -s /dev/da4...

I understand that the label is stored somewhere inside the disk, but where? The handbook says: but where exactly is that? Is this the MBR? I admit I'm a newbie as to the topology of HDDs, so any information I get I'll have to research to understand the answer. This question is for me to...
