Meanwhile I'm quite behind on processing some #photos from some larger events I've been to, nothing professional, just hobby work, but it still stresses me out whenever I think about it.
By happenstance, two more of those events were this past weekend.
After taking a bunch of photos on Friday, I did the shopping Saturday, got home and started testing the disks and they finished one round of full surface testing just yesterday. [ continued ]

I had to decide -- more burn-in to check for early errors or just build the array and let it detect them? So I fired up mdadm to create my #RAID5 array and that took literally all day. Oh and today too. But its done now and I downloaded 15 GiB from one and 17 GiB from the other event off my main camera.
I can finally fire up #darktable and start culling and processing pictures.
Dear fellow photo #geeks, its not just you. It happens to all of us.
Also please be patient, I'll post #photos soon!
