Fuck around - find out
Well, now you’ve called it out, I’ve got to updeet it.
No you haven’t…
According to the man(8) page, it will avoid touching any blocks that have the chattr -f
flag set, which is XSR_XFLAGS_NODEFRAG… So I think if the docs are still accurate to the code, yes.
A lot of ifs in that assumption.
I understood that XFS automatically mounted SSD’s with XFS_XFLAG_NODEFRAG set? Is this not the case?
That’s because the drive was written to its limits; the defrag runs a TRIM command that safely releases and resets empty sectors. Random reads and sequential reads /on clean drives that are regularly TRIMmed/ are within random variance of each other.
Source: ran large scale data collection for a data centre when SSDs were relatively new to the company so focused a lot on it, plus lots of data from various sectors since.
Oh fuck yes. I remember reading about this year’s ago, glad to see it’s still going ahead.
Time to catch up on the lore. And by that I mean watch some kick ass videos again.

Gives me, “right you primitive screw heads” vibes.
I always remember that it’s eXtract Ze File, tar -xzf
… But I’ll be honest, I’ve not used it in years and years
Max and cheese has two ingredients. Good, quality cheese melted into fresh macaroni.
I challenge anyone to dislike that, with a good fresh salad (I like a chopped salad with a drizzle of oil and balsamic with a sprinkle of salt). The great thing is - there’s a cheese for everyone (except lactose intolerant, and what a shame for them) so this works on so many levels.
Yep, took a couple of days with a hex editor, but was a good learning experience
The old Chernobyl virus did this. I caught it. Had to restore the MPT of a FAT32 drive - fortunately, the MPT and first FAT fell outside the boundary of the destruction, so I was able to use the 2nd FAT to restore the files and get pretty much everything back. Was stressful - lots of running to the second computer to get details of how the hex structure of the MPT was built and recreate it because using a tool would have formatted/erased what was there (This was early 00’s, off an old magazine cover floppy disk). Fun times, and not something you want to do with a business machine or with critical software (Though, why haven’t you got it backed up in an air-gapped way if it’s that critical?)
Ahem… I think you mean, “hexagons are the bestagons”
I do it regularly… I particularly like 4.
In all seriousness, I use it when I need to time something - 32 on one hand means one minute (approximately) with two rotations. I started when trying to determine if my daughter was asleep, waiting for a minute after she’d last moved or talked, and I didn’t want a screen or light or noise to wake her (she’s always been hard to get to sleep).
So - yeah it’s a tiny bit tricky to do some combos, but no more than touch typing.
Those wrinkled stockings!
When she passed, the heart and soul that was shown as all the characters gave her a send off - no need for acting that episode.
Sounds like GDPR / HFEA / other medical or significant legal body. They often also give nice fat juicy bonuses to people who report problems that get looked into, and if a company self-reports will often overlook issues provided there’s a serious attention to cleaning shit up.
