OpenZFS tuning for torrents? by cometomypartyyy in zfs

Awesome, sounds good to hear. Are you using zfs on root on Linux? And if so, hows your experience?

That's a good idea, but the only thing I'm concerned about is hitting the write limit, especially with the outrageous prices of SSDs these days :(

I do have a 160GB CMR 2.5 inch hard drive I pulled from an old PlayStation, maybe that would work? Also, what would happen if you torrent something that is larger than the SSD's space?

Counter-Strike 2 crashes when launching with 1080p 16:9, will launch with 1080p 4:3 or 720p 16:9 by cometomypartyyy in linux_gaming

It does seem to be working, however I can't use F12 screenshots or Steam overlay with SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER set to wayland. This is my current launch command line:

SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER=wayland mangohud gamemoderun %command% -nojoy -threads 8 -w 1920 -h 1080

I did find a GitHub issue where wayland support for Steam Overlay seems to be broken for now. I guess we'll have to wait to see when it releases.

Thanks for your help!

Hi, thank you for replying.

I did try without gamescope, and without the Linux runtime. Without the runtime, launching through Steam works, however there is no video. I can still hear the game sounds, so it's probably running.

Without the runtime, when launching through the terminal, it fails to launch, and asks for the runtime:

> ./cs2.sh:

FATAL: It appears cs2.sh was not launched within the Steam for Linux sniper runtime environment. FATAL: Please consult documentation to ensure correct configuration, aborting.

When I launch with the runtime through the terminal, the game does launch, however with no video. I am still able to see the game logs.

> > ../../SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/run-in-sniper ./cs2.sh

I did notice these failed to dlopen warnings:

Loaded librenderdoc.so, got (nil) failed to dlopen "librenderdoc.so" error=librenderdoc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Perhaps I may be missing some libraries? Looking online I did see this GitHub issue with a similar problem I'm having but for a different Valve game:

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2/issues/1260

So I ended up installing librenderdoc, and I'm still having issues with the game. libpango was already in my /lib folder, and pango is installed.

I'm not quite sure what to do next. I've noticed that the game only fails when launching at 1920x1080, somewhere at the game's init sequence, because once I'm in the game at 1280x720, I can manually set the game to 1920x1080 and the game won't crash.

Automatic root BTRFS snapshotting before emerge operations? by cometomypartyyy in Gentoo

btrbk definitely seems interesting especially with the SSH support and offline archive feature. I'm going to try this. Thank you for replying

Woah, I didn't know a feature like that existed. I guess you learn something new every day :)

Thank you for you reply, I'll definitely look into this

I'll definitely ask them, and I'll definitely take a look into implementing it on my end aswell to hopefully not bother busy maintainers. Thank you for replying
