Welp, I might just have to throw a grenade on this. Lets see if bcachefs fsck -pvk can work some miracles…

    This looks like your disk is failing more than anything. But that said this is very much still in dev, cool that you are testing it out, but dont make people think this is the average linux thing.

      no I was making a joke that was apparently not well received here. Aside from rust in the kernel, I didn’t think this was one of those sacred-cow communities.

        Sarcasm is difficult enough to convey in paragraphs of text, let alone a single sentence title. Also, the Linux communities on Lemmy see the occasional wave of trolls coming in to shout about how"Linux is just as bad as Windows!" You’re starting out way behind even before anyone views the video.

      I get that, but its a cool new toy to play with, and the fsck code is very effective so long as it doesnt run out of memory.

    On the up-side, at least you have a chance of fixing it… If that happened on a Windows box, you’d be reaching for the gun / installation media by now

      Here’s the thing. Bcachefs is still under development, and Kent is really careful with his filesystem. This happens to me every now and then if I havent rebooted in a long time or theres a kernel update with filesystem changes it doesn’t like. The trick is to skip the userspace fsck code and pass the -k flag so it uses the kernel fsck code which is much farther along. I’ve never lost anything on this filesystem and its messed up in lots of bizzare ways.

          ext4 doesnt do tiered storage. I could make an LVM and have it pool things into one storage volume but I wanted to learn this. bcachefs is simpler and cleaner, but it’s still young and very volatile. Also, ext4 does have bugs still, even today.

        You can just directly upload media on lemmy.

        The form field says “upload image” but webm videos work for sure. I have not tried other formats.

      I was just thinking about taking a more recent backup when I ran this update and thought against it. I’m going to have to verify this thing against the old backup somehow tomorrow. :/

      There are 3 movie files that have bad checksums but are still readable for some reason. Literally everything else is fine.

      This had nothing to do with this distro. Its the filesystem mount timing out during an filesystem format upgrade that tried to happen during the mount by systemd that did this.
