That sounds right. I wonder how performance degrades if ashift is set to 9, effectively forcing 4K disks to be written as 512b.

@scottalanmiller is also the only one I know that has had the issues with a Mac or Windows10 desktop that I have ever heard of. I have 2 MacBook Pro's and a Mac Mini and am actually quite happy with them. Of course I also use them the way they were meant to be used.

I have constant issues with Windows 10. I also have issues with iMac display. My previous machine was repaired a few times, last time display broke, after AppleCare expired, Apple gave me new model for free, and threw free fusion drive upgrade - that's $250 right there. The new machine had display replaced twice before, 3rd time as I type this. I'm picking it up today. And I hope it breaks again, I want to score free 5k iMac
Despite the issues, Macs are top quality machines. Low end shit is that plastic junk for less that $500.

That's a real bummer. I have close to 9TB data there, now I have to figure out where to move it. But the move is on par with Logmein. In the end, it's Microsoft that's losing a customer.
Amazon, here I come.

Now the real question: Can you make the adjustment without having to wipe the existing data and restore from backups?

Recordsize property yes, zfs set recordsize=1M bacon, ashift no, you need to recreate the pool. I'm guessing recordsize change won't affect allocated data. So wiping and restoring is probably a valid approach.

@scottalanmiller How much is storage on Amazon?

Amazon Drive is $59.99 a year, unlimited too.

And on top of that subscription "only" 100Mbit bandwidth.

Pre-existing conditions shouldn't matter anymore. That's one part that obamacare got right.
https://www.healthcare.gov/coverage/pre-existing-conditions/

In theory. I'm pro-OC in general, it screws me to high heaven, but the idea is good. But the system is so bad and so corrupt that I don't have confidence in the no pre-existing conditions thing. As someone who has been turned down for a burst appendix surgery, I am acutely (see what I did there) aware that the system has ways of not paying for things one way or another.

Turn down by insurance? I'm guessing hospital or doctor wouldn't turn you down, as burst appendix is fatal. I would sue insurance company.

So I just realized, that I can't download my data from Onedrive in bulk in excess of 4GB. Individual files are fine, but that's another limitation. Crap. I just canceled auto-renewal, my subscription expires on Nov 21, I guess I'll be doing a lot of clicking in the next 2.5 weeks.
Amazon Drive users, are there any limits you're aware of? File size limit? Number of uploaded files at once? Download limits?

I type this from Win 10 joined to Win 2008 R2 domain. I have no issues at all, and I have not seen any issues with other PCs on my network.

Y'all need to get yourselves some socialism.

runs far and fast from thread

I grew up in socialist country
Who knows, perhaps Bernie Sanders will become the next president.

I've heard of people getting upped to 40TB once reaching 10TB. I was really close to testing that, but apparently Microsoft thinks we (ab)use the service.

Such a shame. I was a beta tester, and their product was really nice. I had plans to put it into production with next server refresh.

This is only me using the insurance. If husband or son ever need to use it well the costs go up from there.

Also assuming nothing serious happens, which is kind of the definition of insurance.

that's true. However my deductibles for visits, surgery etc. is still crazy. It's just not worth having.

How is your deductible so high? Max out of pocket is $6850 for individual per year, including deductible. Your insurance is screwing you and most likely breaking the law.

How so? In Omaha, a family plan is often $10,400 deductible for a high deductible plan. Then the cost of insurance on top of that.

https://www.healthcare.gov/glossary/out-of-pocket-maximum-limit/ - individual $6850, family $13700.

And then there's this guy:

I wonder if he's one of the offenders too.

Give a call to StarWind We can seamlessly replace NIMBOXX (as we do run Hyper-V and VMware and not cheesy hypervisors still needs years of forging to catch up even with Hyper-V).
We can also buy old NIMBOXX gear from sad guys managed to actually buy from AWOL company. People we'll help to everybody! We're not trying to rip off poor little souls who spend money on something already we can move on and do free StarWind on top of existing SuperMicro gear + VMware or Hyper-V. Just in case.

I am Starwind customer already. But due to some internal shenanigans, I was forced to replace it with SAN.

I have $4000 deductible. my employers pays first $1500, the plan cost me nothing. My wife has $1500 deductible, paid entirely by employer, plan costs her about $40 every 2 weeks. Last year we both had $0 cost plan, $2500 or $1500 deductible paid in full by employer. There are small copays after deductible, in $20-$50 range. Two years ago there was no copays, just deductible paid by employer of course. We already warned the employer that if insurance gets any worse, we're moving back to Europe.

I'm waiting for a smart world leader to stand up and say "Encrypt everything, because it benefits us far more and seriously hurts dictators / fascists and anyone seeking to block free speech"

A smart leader is not enough. You need both a smart and an altruistic leader.

My only point is you don't see any 60 IQ knuckle draggers getting elected to lead countries.

Come on, give Donald a chance

Thank you everyone for all the information.

Still confused as to why local storage being recommended over centralized storage on a NAS?

Because it's faster, cheaper and more reliable. And with DRBD or Starwind all local storage is in sync, so if one server node goes down, your storage and remaining servers are still up. If your centralised NAS or SAN goes down, all server nodes are down.

Perhaps in minor Surgery, if you have a real problem, like cancer, there will no waiting, and of course It's Free

I do not know one way or the other.

The only real person I ever heard speak about it was a co-worker who moved from the US to England. They hated the system over there for elective type stuff.

A real example.

Last night I feel bad and with Flu, using Internet I get a date with my doctor this morning, doctor told me It was just a cold, She gave me the prescription for the medicaments.

I go to the pharmacy and bought the medicaments with a 80% of discount thanks to the prescription, I spend 2 €.

Of course visit the doctor is free.

I love this system.

A decent amount of Americans would respond one of these, if not all:

• You're lying
• That's socialism, we believe in freedom
• Yes but your taxes must be crazy!
• If that's true why do people come to America for healthcare?
• That's communism, we believe in freedom.
• Healthcare is not a right, it's a privilege (I see this one not that often, but often enough to where it's disturbing)
• Hey, if you can't pay, you deserve to be sick (I guess they forget about children and disabled)
• There's no such thing as free! My taxes! My taxes! (meanwhile they pay far more in health insurance, if they have it at all, than they would've paid in taxes).

I see this stuff all the time.

I work with bunch of rednecks and this is exactly what I hear. The problem with Americans, well, mostly with said rednecks, is they much rather have rights to own guns than right to have free healthcare. Too bad when they get sick, of their meth lab explodes and they storm the ER, average person has to pick up the tab, indirectly of course. I'd say, exercise your freedom, you have the right to refuse the medical care and you're free to die.
