I jumped off Reddit’s cliff and landed here just like many other Lemmings.

shrugs in an indifferent hetro way
GPT wasn’t around during Covid though…
Gotta love Australian politicians. This is the same bloke who, a week earlier, was campaigning against gay marriage.
You’ve seen a Willis Jeep, right? Marginally faster than a golf cart, but slightly less protection.
“That’s a nice headlock, sir! I see that you know your judo well!”
It’s just missing “SOLS” written down one side
Haha thanks. I think it’s a lost cause! Perhaps I shouldn’t have worded the post the way I did.
I suspect this is what I’ll have to do. I was hoping to avoid it as that’ll take a weekend of copying, but I might just have to bite the bullet.
I’m not using Windows. I run Debian on this server.
The bulk of external enclosures that money can buy tell the computer they’re plugged into that the disks have logical sector sizes of 4096 bytes, apparently for compatibility with >2TB drives on Windows XP.
I do not need compatibility with Windows XP as the current year is 2024. My disk has logical sectors 512 bytes in size, but the external enclosures don’t report that. I want to know how I can mount the disk anyway, despite the enclosure’s attempts to thwart me. I know the disk is fine, as it is detected with 512 byte sectors and mounts happily via SATA.
It’s never been in a Windows machine.
The only enclosure I have that works out of the box is one of those “SATA to USB adaptors” rather than a bona fide “3.5 inch drive enclosure”. It’s not ideal for long-term use.
I wonder if there’s a place to find out if any given make/model of enclosure will report the sector size as 512 bytes. Then, presumably, one could purchase an enclosure off that list and be confident the disk will be readable.
Yes, the last code block in my OP shows the result of attempting to mount /dev/sdc1 normally: mount: /mnt: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist.
Though I do not believe it is required as I can mount other drives to /mnt just fine, I have attempted to make /met/tmp and mount there to no avail.
No - I’ve been working on a headless server, and ideally I need this thing to be written into /etc/fstab
and work reliably from the command line. I could plug the drive into my laptop to have a look in some GUI tools if you think there’s one around that can circumvent the sector size mismatch, but in the end I’ll need a CLI method.
Is coreboot / libreboot worth it on the X230?
I’ll pass
I would argue modern MacOS is not “bad software” per se, it’s just nothing to write home about. Back in the heyday you describe, it was innovative and quite spectacular compared to the competition. Nowadays it’s rivals are better featured in many respects, but it still does everything it needs to.
That’s true, but usually they get their method right (or close to it) but fail on the simple addition. If you use it to help figure out what steps you need to take, you can then run through substituting the correct numbers in and make some real progress.
I just completed a class on hydrology and water engineering with this method. Got a HD. That either says something about the school or something about GPT. Not sure which.
It certainly says something about my willingness to complete water engineering coursework, I’ll admit that.
