"'"This removes the old ntfs driver. The new ntfs3 driver is a full replacement that was merged over two years ago. We've went through various userspace and either they use ntfs3 or they use the fuse version of ntfs and thus build neither ntfs nor ntfs3. I think that's a clear sign that we should risk removing the legacy ntfs driver."'"
First time poking around with Dev Drives, so doing a little performance testing by measuring dotnet build after git clean -xdf for @xunit (main branch).
On NVMe (NTFS): 17.5s
On SATA (NTFS): 17.9s
On VHDX (ReFS): 14.4s
On VHDX (ext4): 11.7s
The top 3 are built in Windows, and the bottom 1 is built in WSL 2 (Ubuntu 22.04). I wanted to be able to compare the two VHDX options.
Looks like Dev Drive is a win, but not as big as moving to Linux & ext4.
I did the ardurous process of migrating all my stuff from #NTFS to #LUKS-encrypted #ext4 on all drives and it just works so flawlessly on every Linux machine...
Anyone know if an external spinny hard drive, formatted to NTFS, will work well enough with a hacked Wii?
I've been having crashes running Wii games from the SD card and I wonder if having to split the Wii image files is the problem. My SD card only allows file sizes to be a maximum of 4 (four) gigabytes.
Ok, I need your help.
While moving a folder on one of my nvmes, I suddenly get a Input/Output error. I already checked SMART - the SSD is totally fine. Of course I have no current backup of this exact folder 🙄 .
FS is NTFS (Yeah Ik it is shit) and I already tried ntfsfix...
Any ideas?
In which I demonstrate why using #exFAT for a sample content drive is a bad idea.
Though this demo specifically references #Mac and #APFS, on #windows I highly recommend following this maxim as well, and using #NTFS for your samples.
Please avoid #exFAT for samples wherever possible.
The biggest problem of #selfhosted services and #homelab is a bus factor. What if my existence will be interrupted unexpectedly? When my #Nextcloud will crash someday after that, my family will not be able to get their files and photos anymore...
I'm thinking about an external drive with all Nextcloud data periodically copied there. To be able to disconnect it by hand from the dead server and connect to any PC. But which file system should it have? FAT32 can be read on any system but has a single file size limit. NTFS is not supported on Macs, EXT4 is not supported on both, Macs and Windows... I mean, not supported out of the box...
Bad situation. I wonder why #NTFS isn't the answer, the #Samba folks and the courts did so much.
The ingenous idea I picked up somewhere was that the #DVD filesystem, #UDF, had cross-platform support! A UDF-formatted USB stick works fine across atleast Linux and Windows. Startlingly, there is no filesystem-checker for UDF, which might be a deal-breaker. Or maybe only put checksummed archives on it or something?
So a friend was asking me why she couldn’t copy some files from her MacBook to an external hard drive. Explaining the drive was formatted as #NTFS didn’t help but I think I got through to her with this reply and I stand by it! #MacOS
