  • So, someone else forks it and then the contributors just fork that one. This is dumb gate keeping when there are other gates readily available nearby.

    Pretty sure no one told this guy how FOSS is supposed to work or what licensing even means.

    Best case scenario here he’s basically asking for is that the open source community forks this to a new project, stops contributing at all to the official one and since he’s announced he will literally have one developer work on this (45hrs per week, down from 4000 supposedly), the new fork becomes the defacto standard and his company is left peddling old wares full of bugs and exploits no one wants.



  • Nice, we’ll all look out for an update in a year!

    I try to mix brands and lots (buy a few from one retailer and some from another). I used to work for a storage/NAS company and we had many incidents when we’d fill a 12 or 24 drive raid with drives right from the same order and had multiple drives die within hours of each other. Which isn’t usually enough for replacement/resilvering.


  • Mine are 3x 27k and 1x 47k. I just started replacing them… not because they’re old or have any issues, just because they’re becoming too small. Going from 4 to 8 tb disks and transferring the old ones to an external raid enclosure for backups.

    Actually brings up a question I had… what do people think about refurbished drives for a NAS?
