Edit: including corruption of superblocks
As long as the hardware functions as it should (e.g. respects barriers) and there is no software bug in the stack, no.
That’s a highly unlikely scenario though. Make backups.
I had some kernel panics here and there… but the last one panic was fatal. Suddenly a lot of /usr/lib/lib<name>.so files were empty and also X11 stopped working…
Corruption should be automatically detected and fixed. The operations will resume on bootup.
However I wouldn’t push your luck.
Storage devices can fail at any time for any reason. Always have a backup.
Fwiw, I think BTRFS is better than ext4 and friends at actually detecting whether a block is corrupted or not.
Theoretically, no.
In reality, possibly/yes!
What do you have?
As a proud Orange pi zero 3 owner (which I’m using it as a “lab rat” by testing several things, including shutting it down like its a router)…? Nah.
How’s it been? I see mention of Orange Pi more frequently these days.
It’s pretty good. Even better than the raspberry pi 4 considering its performance and comically low power draw (It doesn’t go over the 2W mark even with both cpu and gpu at 100%.). Other than that, it’s perfectly usable, despise its lack of (out of the box) support.
They’re objectively better than the Raspberry Pi in every way and are much more standard ARM devices than the weird boot process of the Raspberry Pi, so generally speaking, more OSes just work.
My Orange Pi 5 actually supports an open source EDK2 port so it can run any Aarch64 operating system that supports UEFI and ACPI or Device Tree which means almost every Linux distro, all the BSDs, Windows, and even more exotic and up and coming options.
I actually bought it to test my own OS development project specifically because it’s one of the few ARM boards that supports the common boot and firmware standards.
On the Raspberry Pi 5 which I also have if you want to use anything other than their own officially supported Linux distributions (so far only Pi OS and Ubuntu) then you have to modify your kernel or bootloader to work with its wacky boot ROM, lack of UEFI or U-Boot, and somewhat non-standard Device Tree along with tons of undocumented peripherals.
Oh, and the Orange Pi has twice the number of cores. The RPi 5 has four Cortex A76 cores while the Orange has four Cortex A76 cores and four Cortex A55 cores in a big.LITTLE configuration.
Honestly, any of the Rockchip RK3588 or RK3588S boards are way better than a Raspberry Pi. At this point, the only thing Raspberry Pi has going for it over its major competitors is the fact that the brand itself isn’t Chinese (although many of the boards are made in China).
They’re objectively better
From what I heard, Orange Pi had lots of software problems for instance with drivers, and the quality of distros are not nearly as good as the official for Raspberry Pi.
software problems
Not having “out of the box” support does not make it a problem tho.
quality of distros
All distros are the same, considering they all run GNU/Linux and anyone can configure em at will.
I wonder, many SBCs are really just pulled from AC to be turned off right?
Basically all of them
Crazy. Can you shut them down normally and then pull them out?
No
No.
What do you mean by “computer” and “corruption”?
What do you mean what does he mean? He says it right there:
during balance or scrub of a btrfs volume?
BTRFS is obviously a filesystem, so it’s equally obviously corruption of the BTRFS filesystem.
What sub is this?
This isn’t Reddit.
Im not very good with computers
