Post: Seeing this late, but I always love to hear what's going on. Excited to start seeing those GBT work units. I wish people would relax and just be glad they're helping to do research that couldn't be done any other way. Let's just grant them some patience and confidence. They wouldn't do this work unless they really loved and believed in it, so at a minimum can we assume they're trying their best? |

Post: You can just disable periodic checking, assuming you trust your storage hardware. Check out man tune2fs ... or: Disk failures are irrelevant if you're using reliable RAID controllers and you're replacing disks in a a timely manner. Both of which they seem to be doing. |
