Might be a SAS driver issue. Have you checked if the drives show up on a live distro, something more current, like let's say Void or anything that has a 6.x kernel?

I've had issues like this with older Marvel SCSI controllers, some of them don't have open source drivers for Linux, and the ones provided by the manufacturer (if there are any) are so old that you'd have to be runnig kernel 2.x in order for them to work. I just gave up in the end, disabled the SCSI controller in BIOS and just used the rigs on IDE/SATA.

I was not about to RCE the binary if I can get a working solution from googling 😒.

I usually use 7z as well... mostly because of the higher compression ratio. I resend in zip if I get complaints, but if it's a large file that barely fits in size on whatever hosting service I decide to share the file on, I just tell them to install 7zip or any other archiver that can open 7z archives. If they don't how to do it, hey I also offer remote IT assistance 🤷.

Discovery is never gonna work on the fediverse. Info is too scattered. Sure, large servers will get discovered, but not smaller ones. They come and go, URLs change... it's a mess.

You delete comments here as well?

Sometimes, there is no documentation for the problem you're having, especially if you're dealing with proprietery solutions.

Oh, yeah, makes sence in that case. Thought it was some other general information, like troubleshooting info.

I can get behind stuff like this, sure, but not with stuff like I posted 😒. There was valuable info there that could've solved my problem in an instant, but I just had to go the long way around 😒.

Yet they still need to catch up on the latest gossip about their kids or the new newigbour who someone saw naked doing OF stuff in front of a camera 😒... like who gives AF, it's their business, not mine, why would would anyone care about someone else's business is beyond me.

Could I ask why you would delete your own comments after a week of two?

I managed to get pointed in the right direction, but no thanks to that user 😒.

Doesn't matter, I have no idea who the user is.
