Was will eins denn benutzen, wenn eins die #Performance von #Storage in VMs messen will?

Bin ich da immernoch auf so madige CLI Tools wie #Bonnie++ angewiesen oder gibt's da mittlerweile Tools, die ein bisschen mehr fancy sind?

Fedi, someone on Reddit solved the mystery with the two stacked fans in this #storage.

It's called a "counter rotating stacks".

Basically two fans rotating in opposing direction (with fins also pointing in opposing directions).

It's used to increase the pressure. So the hunch of it being for increasing the pressure was right.

However what was also correct is that if they were two identical fans it wouldn't do anything (except redundancy maybe).

SATA/SAS disk naming in #Linux really is kinda stupid, isn't it?

This mainboard has 2x SATA + 2x SAS (with a to 4x SATA splitter cable attached each).

How does the system choose to name the drives?

/dev/sda is 1 of one of the SAS ports.
/dev/sdb, sdc, sdd, sde are the 4 drives from the OTHER SAS port.
/dev/sdf, sdg, sdh are the remaining three of the first SAS port.

Why?!?

Now you don’t have to worry about your digital files being lost on an old hard drive. Microsoft Research has taken Project Silica out of the lab and turned it into a real system that uses regular glass. They use special lasers to write data into borosilicate glass, creating a storage medium that can last for 10,000 years. This is more than just an experiment; they’ve already stored 4.8 terabytes on a piece of glass about the size of a drink coaster.

What’s most impressive is how tough this storage is. You could put these glass slabs in boiling water or even a microwave, and the data would still be safe. Because glass doesn’t need power to keep the data intact, it’s possible to create huge archives that don’t use any electricity for cooling or upkeep. This could mean the end of the Digital Dark Age.

🧠 One glass slab holds 4.8 terabytes of permanent data.
⚡ Lasers etch 301 layers of data into 2mm of glass.
🎓 Borosilicate glass reduces the cost of archival storage.
🔍 Accelerated aging tests prove the data lasts 10 millennia.

🔋 Batteries are rapidly replacing gas plants on major power grids in the US and Australia.⚡California now has about 17 GW of #storage helping meet evening peak demand, while 🇦🇺 Australia added 4.9 GWh in 2025. Falling #battery costs are making storage cheaper, signalling a shift in grid reliability

Preparados para o fim do mundo (ou da Internet como a conhecemos; ou da sociedade como também a conhecemos, e na pior da hipótese tudo isso junto)?

Façam estoque de armazenamento, confiem em mim.

Anyone know if #RAID 5 and 6 in #BTRFS are production ready these days?

Someone just said basically claimed that (and it more or less would be exactly what I'm looking for...)

> write hole issue you see in docs is an edge case and I haven't heard of anyone encountering it in the last half decade
