I cannot test it - my POE+ switch is remote to me - so I cannot measure
time to power.
That said when setting it up - I have pretty strong feeling that the
power came instantaneously (1 sec or less) with this cheap switch:

Lenovo Thinkpad T14 and X13s are supported on linux - you can even get
some of them with linux preinstalled.
I usually aim for newest supported HW to extend useful live - so, the
last time I ended up paying MS tax, but I still get bios updates via
fwupdmgr and everything working without issues.
Unless you ate limited by wireguard - I would highly recommend it,
especially on low power (cheap device). In my experience I get, 3-5x
better traffic through them when connecting home while traveling.

If you cannot find the variable by: grep -r E4BCD_ config_dir
.. you can always add a few lines to send yourself email containing the
variables at the next execution.
Once you know the email address - it should be trivial to find it in

This is not strange behavior - space is command line argument separator

CentOS 7 is pretty old (predates it by years) for your hardware - you
need kernel 5.3 or newer for this to work properly.
I am not sure if you can get this new kernel from CentOS 7
repositories. If you are used to CentOS - try CentOS stream or Fedora
with newer kernel.
Hope that helps,

Correct - you need to setup ordinary SW raid - follow mdadm

Please note that Ben said archival/backup use.
There are no data persistent guarantees on SSDs if not used for longer
than about a year. That is probably an issue if you put data on SSD for
archival/backup - have it in deposit box, fireproof safe, off-site or
