Today started off great!

New 5TiB HDD... Check!

Formatted with zfs under LUKS, with a high level.of compression and dedup... Check!

Copying over roughly 4TiB of data, about 2 of which was scattered in small files... Coworker unplugged it from AC thinking it was his (they are sort of similar), when the process was almost complete.

Goddamit. zpool scrub.... 6 hours left. It's 9 pm over here, and I'm not a fan of leaving my stuff at work. Goddammit.

...I guess tomorrow is another day.

    At least your HDD is not damaged. I once unplugged a Seagate HDD by mistake from the server and that thing stopped working. The server was idle ffs

    @gitpush you need to do hard format then

    @kaloxy Linux Unified Key Setup, aka full disk encryption. It's needed since zfs native encryption is too experimental for my tastes

    @gitpush Have you tried to format it on a Linux system? Sometimes the fs gets soft-locked, and windows does not want to override it
