I awoke to find my drive has 4 red led’s when it was working perfectly well the night before. The drive is under warranty but even though I have sent the logs and shown the issue to WD they are refusing to help me, stating that the device has no mount, no volume and no raid and it did a factory res…

[image] brightskyapps: size = 209711104 bytes Myeah 200MB, that’s not going to cut it. On my EX2Ultra, the OS prepares a RAID1 swap on the disks of 2G. You can use the free command to get memory usage in kilobytes. # free total used free shared buff/cache …

That must be what the default size is for mkswap /dev/sde1, I’ll have to go look how to make one for 64GB

[image] brightskyapps: 999990226944 bytes I’m not going to count those nines, but it looks like enough :slight_smile:

I think it might be too big, as if I cat /proc/swaps. then it doesn’t show cat /proc/swaps Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/md0 partition 2097084 91912 -1

Doesn’t want to add a swap anymore since I removed the last one :frowning: blkid /dev/sdd2: UUID="7b532c3f-a908-9a56-57b1-77b6a8f67641" UUID_SUB="373be9a8-0fcb-5be2-5cba-d71edb8f89fb" LABEL="1" TYPE="linux_raid_member" PARTLABEL="Microsoft basic data" PARTUUID="cbee0f08-f474-419f-859f-71b7f193ff46"…

Do I need to add the swap to the /etc/fstab/ ? The partition UUID is 8c1893a7-f00c-4b6d-a33f-fbd05467975b, so I think I have to add: UUID=8c1893a7-f00c-4b6d-a33f-fbd05467975b none swap sw 0 0 I have a Swap partition created on /dev/sde1 but whenever I add it by …

I’ll update my prior instructions. You need to create swap with mkswap (similar to mkfs to setup a file system on a partition) and then swapon to enable it (similar to mount for a filesystem).

Scrubbing my healthy zfs pool with 26TB of data took only 23h
Every now and then I make an offline backup of the critical data ofc.
