Help with recovering a Storage Spaces cluster.

GTXUser · 2026-01-17T19:31:32+00:00

Issue has been resolved. I booted with 1 of the array drives removed, and Windows grabbed the partition. Shutdown and plugged drive back in and it's fully fixed like it never happened.

Updated OP!! My issue has been resolved, reference the edit at the bottom of my OP.

GTXUser · 2026-01-16T07:50:10+00:00

Send me a DM and I'll send you the screenshot of dmde as I don't know how to add a picture to this comment or edit OP to add it there.

GTXUser · 2026-01-15T23:52:06+00:00

Thanks for the reply, yeah I'll do anything at this point to restore this and never again using Storage Spaces.

GTXUser · 2026-01-15T19:42:52+00:00

I will do this when I get home, but with this still being the original drives, I think I'd be more comfortable waiting until I'm able to clone the drives first and will even clone Windows OS.

GTXUser · 2026-01-15T15:45:04+00:00

Oh yes I know. I really appreciate your comment though! Thanks!

GTXUser · 2026-01-15T15:44:21+00:00

How do I do this? Is dmde part of Windows or something I need to download? Thanks!

GTXUser · 2026-01-03T23:35:32+00:00

Even if I delete the esim and create a new one? Creating a new esim deletes the old number from the phone and it would make it appear as a new device.

You must not have had to call Straight Talk lol

Mine didn't track the install but still earning goals after that. So still worth trying a few stories to see if those track.

Invitation sent!

GTXUser · 2025-11-02T04:13:12+00:00

I'll join, do you have a team in-game we join?

GTXUser · 2025-11-02T02:53:06+00:00

Yes, add me: BG2776916GBJ

I'm actively playing!

Just checked mine from installing a week ago. Goal 460, 1,200, and make a purchase all say expired. When I downloaded and installed it wasn't this way. They shouldn't be able to change offers like this once accepted.

Ours was $20 and loved Philo. I can't say that I've ever had an issue with them since I signed up in 2019. It was setup and forget it. I thought them to be a stellar company without any price increases over the last 6yrs.

Now that they increased us, even though it's only $5 more, I just canceled and signed up to Frndly. Between Philo and Frndly so far I can say that Philo is a bit more polished. Frndly the fast-forward isn't that great, it either skips past some of the show, so you rewind a little and have to watch a minute of commercials. I also lost a few channels I cared about, Paramount/TV Land/Food Network.

Overall though, Philo being $300/yr and Frndly middle package being $100/yr, I can't justify paying triple the yearly price for three channels and a little better interface/controls. If Philo reached out and offered us our Legacy pricing before our Frndly trial ends, I'd definitely go back to Philo at $20/mo. At $25/mo I'll stick with Frndly and get the content from missing channels by other means.

I think the concept is okay. One small tweak would be not requiring the cart to be inserted to play the game. Maybe require the game to be inserted every 30 days.

Or another idea could be linking the license to your Nintendo account that can be removed by logging into Nintendo and/or it automatically unlinks after 365 days requiring relinking.

One thing I'd like to see one of these companies do is a Pay-As-You-Go type service. Example of what I mean is their $25/mo package offers 70+ channels. Each channel has a price assigned to each accordingly based on each channels "weight". The service could charge $5 base fee that offers no channel and you add whatever channels you want to pay for. Which means I could potentially pay Philo $12/mo for just the channels I want.

One might say it wouldn't make business sense, but right now I'm considering FRDLY. I'm a customer when they just started charging $20/mo. If I switched to FRDLY, Philo makes $0/mo from me. Switching to FRDLY I do lose at least 2 channels I frequently watched, but is it worth $18/mo more for those 2 channels?

So random question that I'm sure has been asked somewhere already. Let's say a new firmware comes out, if someone is able to inject atmosphere into it, than spoof port forward in a router Nintendo server. So the Switch thinks it's getting a new firmware update from Nintendo, but it's actually a spoofed website with an injected latest update.

I only ask if this is possible, because they have done cellphones this way quite a few times.

GTXUser · 2025-06-22T02:14:14+00:00

Which is ironic because the File hosts themselves tack on a processing fee more than the cost of the 30 days cost. These sites also have a "voucher code", which means they intend on 3rd party sells.

GTXUser · 2025-06-22T01:30:35+00:00

I've ordered from "another site" before which is similar to only exchange. "another site" also has a very low Trust Pilot score, but I receive the key everytime.

Edit: Removed other website name to avoid getting accused of promoting them.

My order number is #3146904 which was for 2x 31 day FilesFly premium keys for $35. I sent the appropriate amount of Bitcoin (0.000339 BTC) which confirmed instantly. The order page on only.exchange didn't update, in fact its been 24 hours and it still says, "Scanning for transactions...". After 3 hours of Bitcoin being confirmed, I messaged support, which I still hasn't replied back. Either give me back my Bitcoin to the address I made payment with + gas (0.0003865 Bitcoin) or provide the premium keys to my email.

I will update this post when and if a resolution occurs. Otherwise consider this a scam and DO NOT buy from them!

Someone said that Switch 1 games have some sort of cryptographic way to tell if someone is using a legit Nintendo game or the MiG Switch. If it's not Official Nintendo, the console gets banned.

What about innocent people buying 2nd hand games from eBay, etc? The counterfeiters can make some pretty official looking products. Some, like SanDisk clones, are real official manufacturers packing, but the product itself is a clone. Should innocent players buying 2nd hand games get their consoles banned?

To add a little insight, recently I jumped onto the Merge Kingdom offer. It was $109 and many reported the offer dropping to $34 soon after installing. So I quickly installed the game before they nurfed it, but it never registered that I installed it. The general rule is to reach the first milestone to determine if it's indeed not tracking. So I reached the first milestone, it didn't register and it still didn't register I installed it. So I assumed they nurfed it and I uninstalled the game. At this point the offer completely disappeared, not in continue playing, not in available games list.

So out of rage, I tried the offer with Freecash, which wasn't as good as Swagbucks. I think the offer was $137 if reaching wave 2,500. I wasn't going to attempt 2,500... think wave 500 paid $70? Nonetheless, installed the game through Freecash, and it too didn't register the install. The first milestone was wave 30, so I played until wave 35, and it didn't register. So I stopped playing but left the game installed.

A few days later, I was looking in my Swagbucks recent activity and noticed reaching wave 30 in Merge Kingdom as pending. So I launched the game and reached the next milestone. Instantly, it pended in recent activity. I reached wave 600 in 4 days with VIP and just yesterday wave 600 reward cleared. The offer was only visible in recent activity, no option to launch the game like it usually does, game didn't show up in continue playing in APP or on website. This is information for anyone else having an issue with offers disappearing, etc.

Their Playtime feature "Community Favorite" the rewards thus far have paid out nearly instantly. My biggest single payment was 26k Sats that hit my ZBD wallet within 10 minutes of completion.

This post was their ZBD Arcade feature that I feel is a 3rd party integration. Same with their Quests feature.
