  • but where is your recognition of the tens of millions off bad command executions that happen in small IT shops every month?

    A bad command execution in a small IT shop will only bring down a couple of websites at most. A bad command execution in large cloud providers can literally make significant portions of the web unavailable, just by the sheer number of services dependent on it.

    The same applies for most of the “practical realities” you noted out: Redundant infrastructure can only work as well as the software running on it. The convenience is not worth the risk.




  • Funnily enough, when I upgraded from a SATA SSD to an NVME, I didn’t have to reinstall anything. Instead I just moved the LVM LVs to the NVME and rewrote the boot config. Just booted up from the existing installation without having to install anything.
    Of course, tune2fs reports the right age for the filesystem:

    # tune2fs -l /dev/mapper/VolGroupSSD-ssdvol | grep created
    Filesystem created:       Thu Jun 16 10:33:49 2022 << This used to be the root fs, inside the SATA SSD
    # tune2fs -l /dev/mapper/VolGroupSAT-satvol | grep created
    Filesystem created:       Mon Nov 14 14:13:49 2022 << When I bought the NVME and created a new VG just for the SATA drive
