I was thinking of the same usage for my NAS backup and it's good that I can use your experience to make sure I have stable system like you.

I do agree that it happens less on desktop unix systems (although I have seen cases like this on Linux and Solaris). Maybe the desktop systems are better prepared for it and maybe it's less of an issue with disk drives compared to sd cards. In any case the PI suffers pretty badly from this...<br /><br />BTW See here <a href="http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=36533" rel="nofollow">http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=36533</a> for some more tips on preventing SD card corruption.David Bosschaerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13786738766478890804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210566578097047576.post-75008210685088218762014-01-29T02:38:02.794-08:002014-01-29T02:38:02.794-08:00"its a general issue with Linux and other uni..."its a general issue with Linux and other unix-type operating systems: sudden power losses can make their boot/os disk unreadable" - this is FUD. <br /><br />I'm using Linux for about 18 years, on computers from workstations, by standalone servers, to blade clusters and I can't remember any single failure like this.Seweryn Niemiechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092697334685699065noreply@blogger.com
