What do you do when NTFS fails you?
Reinstall then restore. Here the installation is on the metal of course just win10 running isolated & air gapped
Today I learned the following. Journaling and journaling are two separate distinctly separate manners of keeping file systems in Sync.
When microsoft talks about journaling in NTFS you should never, ever think about the robust journaling system that Ext4 has
In comparison EXT4 journaling is a god while en NTFS journaling is not even an ant
I have EXT4 file systems connected to an extremely unstable machine. This thing crashes to green screens more than 64 times a day.
{It's a Gigabyte Mini PC in case you're interested never buy those. The machine came with overheating errors from the beginning. The factory installed a fan for the APU which is not even suitable for a GPU that was made a decade ago}
I've not even lost one bit of data on those EXT4 file systems.
Those NTFS file systems with journaling? I lost all of them. All NTFS file systems were lost
I didn't lose data because I have backups the file systems just keeled over simply because the machine kept rebooting
Thank you for being so robust EXT4
With keen interest I studied the following blogpost by @stefano
You have to read the blog post carefully, if necessary, read it twice, because there are things said between the words and the lines that should resonate with you
One major lesson is extremely important know when to cut and leave; never ever deviate from your course afterwards
When politics, corruption and deviousness are involved, you have to make absolutely certain that both your integrity and your health remain at your primary interest
A lot has been learned by me from this article
Thank you for sharing it with us Stefano
