Storj obituary - RIP :(

hi! and thank you all for the help!
this was simple i explain it better:
1 ssd(system) + 1tb hdd + 2tb hdd


after try to repai the raid0 (mirror(striped) … and because it worked for a few days after the first death)
then this happens:

2020-02-28 17_34_08-sirhdgdghfghstorj - 192.168.1.65 - Remote Desktop Connection
so… i break the raid… test the node … it works! (or it says it works (on the web its conected))
i say …“cool… the raid worked…”…so i try to mirror it again :slight_smile: ! …
and this happens:


i make a partition for my fullcores (i had a full btc core yes … )
i make another partition and i realise i wont need it and deleted it and … it made 2 unpart spaces (asaf(as strange as fu"#$)) :slight_smile:
i proce with the repair … it starts to slow down… the drive starts to make a new noise…"i “pray” but it wont help… "
…after 4 or 5 hours … repair aborts!
i say my last words … it was still hot … but … nothing i could do! … i try to lay it down on both sides … lift it up… i even shake it a little in the end but … nope ;)!
im left with 1 4tb… no sno data nor rating … no cores walltes (but still recoverable by keys )

…meanwhile
… i respect linux! i just “cant” adapt !(untill some “uniformity”… too many systems…too many comands…i lose my shi"$%" ).i tried!.. even with help of a dear respectfull sno…i quited! …w10 is not optional for me (too many software dependency)!

and… in the end …
i guess ill… have to plead my apology for not been able to make the team stronger :(!
… ill be back!

This is not advisable on a system with 1 HDD. A Windows user would opt to format his C drive in case of failure. Such setup must have 2 partitions; OS and Data.

if you have OS and Node on same HDD, in most cases whole system will lagg. Posible even with SSD but less.

It’s never advisable to put STORJ and OS onto the same HDD. Not only does it make your system lag, it will also make your drive fail earlier because of the increased workload.

Agreed. But you do realize people are using Storj as an addition to their earnings by using free space on their mining rig’s HDD. I would speculate at least 50% and more of them are miners so to expect them having more than 1 HDD was a stretch.

on mining rig, you have lot of free Sata ports, so just add hdd, i reconstructed my old miner rigs to storj.

yeah on a mining rig you are right. Doesn’t matter in that case. Do you really think 50% are miners?
But in every other case where you actually use your PC, you should not use storj on the same drive.

I would have agreed with this until about a decade ago. But since windows 8 there is a pretty great feature to reset your windows to a clean install while keeping your data. This feature was further improved with windows 10. I would say even partitioning a single HDD/SSD is now no longer needed and probably not advisable anymore as it would let you be less flexible with assigned space. Windows has generally been built to have everything in a single partition, with each version pushing you more and more towards having your data in user folders on the OS drive. Although recent windows update issues kind of threw a wrench into that approach by actually losing data in user folders for some users. But generally that is the approach they seem to want users to take.

i use 1 hdd=1 node if hdd will die other will survive. olso the posibiliti, node data curropted, so i do not put all eags to 1 bascet.

sorry… what ? … if you have 1 hdd what “other will survive” are u talking about ? :face_with_monocle:

each hdd is own node, if you have raid 5 you will get 1 node with 4x size.
but if each hdd is node then you will have 5 nodes with 1x size.

if you have problem with your 1 node, like soft error or something then you will lose all.

if you have 5 nodes and 1 hdd will go dawn or error hapen i will have more 4 nodes.

true. but are they the same ? do that pays 5x or 1x? … because you are using 5x the “one connection” network bandwith in the same “basket”, i mean, in the same “pc” or room or even “building”; i see no long term data storage availability … because all drives will die at some point. … no ?¿


i think i have an issue ! …help !!! , is this a problem? … is it fixable or do i only have to wait to be aproved ? …is this because i used the same email ?
thank you.

windows gui or docker?

previus picture was on windows so, did you opend port on windows firewall?
Made nat rule from external port to this pc port?
