There's so much to learn reading product reviews before you purchase anything online. This is only possible because after purchasing a responsible buyer should make time warning other consumers about the product he bought. I am in the market for storage devices. I'm looking for a 2 TB internal hard drive plus SATA and power cables. I'm looking for some discounts and I found one. One reviewer who sounds like he tested the hard drive and found the device age. This supposed brand new hard drive has 1,800 days of power on in its logs. Recently manufactured hard drives are SMART capable. SMART makes it possible for each device to monitor itself, log how many times it's powered on, how many days (sometimes hours) it's been used. I have a SSD that's receiving (and sending) data to its manufacturer / vendor. The vendor even runs tests on the SSD from time to time. So all these data and logs are saved in SMART data.
We should be making time and filling out that product review space after purchasing online.
I first encountered the problem after a routine update / upgrade of the
system. Well there was a kernel upgrade and I have not checked how many
old kernels are still left for backups in /boot. Apparently, there was
a few and the partition is 85% full. Every software update included a
warning because of the restriction in disk space. Also, zfs could not
create snapshots. It is also full. This is not very clear to me.
Snapshots were suppose to be diff copies so why would it take up a
large space. Most of the snapshots are less than 2MB. Or 0MB.
Another problem that popped up is the constant freezing of Rhythmbox. I
don't know if the config files are corrupted. The CPU cycles from one
to the next. Peaks for 5-6 seconds then on to the next CPU. This forced
me to download Clementine and Audacious. But both applications do not
find the zfs pool or don't show the zfs structure. Why not? My final
solution is to reinstall Rhythmbox via snaps. I re-scanned the music
