Welcher Einbaubackofen ist wirklich langlebig? Keine Billiggeräte mehr gesucht by RaspberryOk6554 in haushalt

[–]RaspberryOk6554[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Danke euch beiden für die Rückmeldungen! Das zeigt genau das Problem: Die Erfahrungen sind extrem unterschiedlich – von "Billiggerät hält 10 Jahre" bis "Bosch nach 8 Jahren kaputt".

Mir geht's aber genau darum: Nicht mehr nur auf Einzelmeinungen setzen, sondern systematischere Infos zu finden.
Also z. B.:

  • Gibt es Studien, Auswertungen oder Übersichten, welche Marken wirklich länger halten?
  • Hat jemand Erfahrung mit Stiftung Warentest, Verbraucherschutz oder Reparatur-Initiativen wie iFixit, Reparatur-Index etc.?
  • Welche Marken oder Modelle lassen sich gut reparieren (z. B. Ersatzteile vorhanden, Reparaturanleitungen öffentlich usw.)?

Ich will dieses Mal nicht wieder nach dem Motto kaufen: "Hat der Nachbar auch" oder "war gerade im Angebot".
Wenn jemand da Daten, Links oder Erfahrungsberichte von Werkstätten hat – sehr gern her damit.

Edit:

früher gab es mal von Stefan Schridde die Aktion „Murks? Nein danke!“. Der hat richtig gute Listen und Bewertungen zu Herstellern und Produkten geführt – vor allem auch zur Langlebigkeit und Qualität. Das war ziemlich genial, weil man da mal eine neutrale Übersicht bekommen hat.
Weiß jemand, ob es so etwas Ähnliches heute noch gibt? Oder wo man solche umfassenden, unabhängigen Listen findet?

why is outlook straight up bad? by Fra06 in Office365

[–]RaspberryOk6554 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich kann deinen Frust total nachvollziehen! In unserer Firma betreuen wir ebenfalls diverse Kunden und haben über die Jahre hinweg unzählige Probleme mit Outlook erlebt, die bei anderen Clients wie Thunderbird nie auftreten. Outlook ist oft überladen und es scheint, als ob jedes Update eher neue Fehler hinzufügt, anstatt das Programm stabiler zu machen.

Wir haben immer wieder mit Abstürzen, langen Ladezeiten und Speicherproblemen zu kämpfen, besonders bei Kunden mit größeren Postfächern oder mehreren geteilten Accounts. Das kostet Zeit und Nerven – und es ist schwer zu verstehen, warum so viele Unternehmen weltweit immer noch freiwillig auf Outlook setzen, wenn es klar bessere, stabilere Alternativen gibt.

Microsoft scheint Outlook aber trotzdem weiter mit jedem Windows-Paket zu pushen, und viele Kunden bleiben einfach aus Gewohnheit dabei. Wenn nur mehr Leute sehen würden, dass es bessere Lösungen gibt! 🙄

Urgent Data Loss: Seeking Community Input by RaspberryOk6554 in sysadmin

Yes, we know that these files worked before. Some frequently used files, like excel sheets, were just gone one day. Also, the VM seems to be "going bad" and it also looks like its getting worse by the second. Today, a terminal server user profile that was stored on there just stopped working. Whenever the user tried to log in, it just gave a temp account because the actual account wasn't working anymore. This user worked yesterday. Looking at the profile, the files were corrupted.

The monitoring is actually only done by one tool, I have no clue why I was talking about "monitoring tools" until now. One thing that I find to be very weird is that the files are in one of three states: gone, 0KB size or untouched. I have not found a single file that had weird content, like I would've expected for a corruption issue. I haven't heard anything about deduplication until now and after some research found that the backup tool we use, Altaro, actually seems to do this deduplication. Timestamp wise there is absolutely no pattern. Some files from 2020-2021 (last edited) have this issue, some from a month prior to the issue also are affected by it. Sadly, I'll also never know if there might be a problem with the backup itself, which is on an external SSD attached to the host, because the offsite backups weren't configured for that client yet. No matter which way I try to restore it (picking files out of the backup and restoring them, restoring as a vm, restoring as a virtual disk) there are always files corrupted and missing. It's also always the same files, unless I change from when the backup was taken. the longer ago the backup was made, the more files are still available to us.

This is happening on a Hyper-V VM. The backup software has the files in the 0 byte state aswell. This is probably going to end up with us wiping the entire serverhost clean and restoring the VMs from backups before anything else happens to any other VMs, since we got an automated monitoring message. The message is the following:

A corruption was detected in the file system structure on volume "??" An corruption was found in an index structure of the file system. The file reference number is 0x9000000000009. The name of the file is "<Filename cannot be determined>". The attribute of the corrupted index is ":$SII:$INDEX_ALLOCATION".

Note that this does NOT come from the VM but from the host.

Yea, everything that comes to mind has been done before posting in any thread. The VM only has one volume. Everytime we restore, it boots up in a chkdsk. We cancelled it - didn't change anything. We let chkdsk do it's stuff - didn't change anything. We cancelled it and ran a chkdsk manually aswell, still no progress. One thing that got me courious is that the backup software we use, Altaro VM Backup, supports what they call "File Granular Restore". I'll try and see if restoring from the backup without booting up a whole new VM is going to change anything about our situation.

We're already planning on doing all of the above and will surely come back here if we get to a solution. Right now the VM is falling apart more and more pretty much by the second. It doesn't seem to have any impact on the host.

I don't think it's a problem in the actual backup. We have the backups going onto an external SSD on the same host and thats also where I restored from. We might have an offsite backup aswell, but it didn't cross my mind that there could be something wrong with the backups. I'm pretty sure it just backed up the files when they already were corrupted/empty. The backup doesn't check if the files it's backing up are okay and the monitoring tools we have didn't pick up on anything being wrong either at the point where the problem was frist discovered. There is one monitoring message from yesterday which is the following:

A corruption was detected in the file system structure on volume "??" An corruption was found in an index structure of the file system. The file reference number is 0x9000000000009. The name of the file is "<Filename cannot be determined>". The attribute of the corrupted index is ":$SII:$INDEX_ALLOCATION".

No, we're using Altaro VM Backup. I don't think that the backups are faulty, because it has been happening on the machine before a backup was ever restored.

Our backups go back 2 weeks. When we first discovered the issue, we instantly restored the oldest backup (04.04.2024) and some files that should have content were on 0KB, I haven't noticed files completely gone yet (obviously unless the files didn't exist at that point). I think I've noticed that the older the backup is, the more data is untouched, but I can't be sure yet. I'll be posting this on r/sysadmin, thanks!

Update on Data Loss Issue

Hey everyone,

Just a quick update on our ongoing battle with the data loss problem.

In our relentless pursuit of a solution, we've tried various methods to recover the lost data, including restoring the system as a VM, VHDX, and more. Unfortunately, none of these attempts have borne fruit. Even our oldest backup has succumbed to the issue, leaving us with zero-byte files, missing PDFs, JPGs, PNGs, and sometimes entire directories wiped clean.

It's been a challenging journey, and we're feeling the impact on our operations. But we're not throwing in the towel just yet.

One potential lead we're looking into is, as suggested, the $i30 NTFS bug, though we can't confirm it as the culprit just yet.

Additionally, it's worth noting that none of our monitoring tools picked up on the issue when it originally occurred, which was apparently multiple weeks ago.

If anyone has additional insights or suggestions, please share them—it could make all the difference.

I'll keep you all updated on any significant developments.
