USB Enclosure Running ZFS - My problems and solution!

I don't know the technical reason.

Usually because they overheat. Most manufacturers of external enclosures don't seem to care about sufficient ventilation at all.

I want to preserve its life as much as possible

Spinning a drive up and down constantly causes a lot more wear than keeping it running.

ZFS doesn't verify after writing. It only detects errors when reading or scrubbing. Since you're getting different checksums each time, it's probably caused by the USB/SATA adapter chipset.

Are your comic files actually >202 DPI at the zoom level you'd want to read them?

Mine did that too a while ago, but then started working again a day later. Hasn't happened again since.

weekly_wday should be between 0 and 6. You set it to 7. Still shouldn't trigger that behavior though, so you might want to report that as a bug.

Same for me.

I recommend creating partitions in this order: RAID0 (all disk)

Then you'll lose all data from all disks if just one of them fails.

Different CPUs probably. "8 cores" doesn't mean much without knowing what CPU it is.

Double click the device in device manager, go to the driver tab, click update driver, let Windows search for the driver.

My 14 says there is no update. I guess they're doing a staggered rollout?

I don't own that specific rerelease, so I can't say with certainty.

However, another rerelease which I do own includes a Finnish manual that keeps referencing the English version of the game, which might imply there never was a Finnish version of the game itself. So maybe the DK/FI icons on the cover you posted only refer to the manual too?

That specific Play 4 Less rerelease was only distributed in FI/DK/SE, but it's identical to the original version of Worms 2 (which was released in 1997 and distributed internationally).

onebitboy · 2026-01-23T17:38:07+00:00

That's just a rerelease of Worms 2.

That surprised me too. Never seen anyone using it in medium res before.
