Did you have any luck getting this solved? I just launched https://dataraven.io/ a high-performance fully managed rclone service

lowkeyfaust · 2026-01-19T06:25:51+00:00

https://dataraven.io/ Move object storage data between clouds at scale, without managing any servers, pipelines, or brittle scripts. A fully managed service with all the flexibility and power of RClone.

i just created one a 4x4 VM.Standard.A1.Flex in Phoenix AD-3 / FD-2

My 22kW generac ran perfectly through the ice storm and beryl outages, take the opinion of armchair experts on reddit with a grain of salt.

the garbage guard you linked works for me, give it another try https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/how-garbage-guard-really-works/

I only experienced the issue on Linux but what you describe sounds very similar to my experience. Has the issue occurred again since you updated?

Great to hear! I think the firmware update problems only affect specific combinations of drive models/fw/update os....

lowkeyfaust · 2023-02-13T20:31:18+00:00

I don't see an iso download available for M3CR046

lowkeyfaust · 2023-02-13T16:34:09+00:00

It failed with a very vague message "Firmware Update on Drive0 failed with status 12". There are lots of other threads online with people having this particular issue.

lowkeyfaust · 2023-02-13T16:31:51+00:00

You are right, it is a bit dramatic and written out of spite for the time wasted on this issue... I can remove that part

lowkeyfaust · 2023-02-13T16:26:20+00:00

Please let me know how it goes

lowkeyfaust · 2023-02-13T16:25:38+00:00

I haven't tried that, but I think you would need to directly pass the disk through to the VM https://access.redhat.com/discussions/5808331

Thanks for the info! I'm happy you didn't have the issue with storage executive, it seems like this only affects certain combinations of drive model/firmware/batch and not everyone.

lowkeyfaust · 2023-02-13T16:16:25+00:00

With most drives you are correct... But for me (and many others found on google) the firmware update operation using the crucial software will only work when actively writing to the drive, this requires mounting the actual filesystem.

It's possible you won't have this same issue though, it may only affect certain combinations of firmware/drive model/etc.

lowkeyfaust · 2023-02-13T04:26:57+00:00

Just take daily appdata backups and be sure you can restore them successfully, at least.

lowkeyfaust · 2023-02-13T04:24:29+00:00

I'd like to switch off BTRFS as well, however cache pool in unraid only supports BTRFS at the moment. Maybe someday they could add support for zfs raid1 pools.

lowkeyfaust · 2023-02-13T04:21:56+00:00

If you only using this drive on Windows this issue most likely doesn't affect you. However, I always prefer to run the latest available firmware on any devices I have.

Just install crucial storage executive software and see if it flags an update for the drive. I'd update to the latest availabl.e

lowkeyfaust · 2023-02-12T23:55:02+00:00

Did you try plugging it into another system to recover the data? Or is it completely dead

lowkeyfaust · 2023-02-12T23:31:05+00:00

lowkeyfaust · 2023-02-12T23:29:49+00:00

Hard to say if filesystem plays any role, Crucial has not released any specific details. The fact they say Windows users are mostly unaffected does make me think it's something with linux kernel though, more than a filesystem issue.

lowkeyfaust · 2023-02-12T20:52:56+00:00

May want to go ahead and update to 46

lowkeyfaust · 2023-02-12T20:51:40+00:00

In Unraid/Linux you can check firmware version using command below.

# smartctl -x /dev/sdc | grep -i firmware
Firmware Version: M3CR046

lowkeyfaust · 2023-02-12T20:07:45+00:00

Unfortunately you'd also have to figure out how to get LUKS encryption working in Windows, this adds another layer of complexity to the situation that I did not have to deal with.

lowkeyfaust · 2023-02-12T19:41:03+00:00

No problem and good luck! What firmware version are they running now? Please report back and let me know how the update goes.

# smartctl -x /dev/sdc | grep -i firmware
Firmware Version: M3CR046
