RAID-1 or ZFS with copies=2 on a laptop will save you from many situations of data loss or corruption. I have my clients give me SATA disks that have bad sectors and are therefore unsuitable for use in servers. I make them BTRFS RAID-1 and they work fine for me as backup disks. Most such disks only ever have about 50 bad sectors and RAID-1 covers that nicely. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
