PC Crash #
Desktop crashed days ago, apparently my primary drive has been going bad for a while and eventually it just died.
-
live-booted to ubuntu server
-
found restic backup script to NAS
-
edited to be smaller, but did the backup to the NAS
-
rsync’d docker volumes to BX500 SSD which is a zfs pool
-
captured what I did on ghost at /home/nic/aurora-recovery-report.md and /home/nic/aurora-crash-disk-health-report.md
PLAN #
- install ubunto on 500 GB Samsung
- create zfs dataset for projects /tank/volumes/projects
- mount zfs dataset /tank/volumes/projects to /home/nic/projects
- zfs for home? probably not, keep home on ext4
- mount old home and sync directly
Outcome #
This is going terribly… blog post coming on what I should’ve done. What’s actually happening is that I basically just lost everything on that desktop except my homelab repo thank God…
