There are cases where inert gas fire suppression systems caused large amounts of hard drives to fail. The sound of the very high pressure gas coming from the nozzles was enough to wreak havoc over a data center of the ING Bank for example. Here is an example of someone shouting at disks: ruclips.net/video/tDacjrSCeq4/видео.html Here is a longer article from a data recovery company: www.ontrack.com/blog/2017/01/10/loud-noise-data-loss/
By the way, if disks aren't running, the heads are in parking position (removed from the platters). They are fairly resilient to vibration and shocks in that state, so banging on the table is relatively harmless. But rattling them over a parking lot in a shopping cart is something else. I can imagine that this can move the heads from the parking position to the non-moving platters. If this happens, the heads will almost immediately stick to the platters. The spindle motor isn't able to start and if some unqualified person opens the disks and forcefully moves the spindle or tries to lift the heads from the platters, it is very likely that the heads get ripped off. If a disk doesn't spin up after being dropped or exposed to excessive vibrations, the 2nd best thing to do is bringing the disk to a reputable data recovery company. (The best thing is having backups, and as the data center inert gas fire suppression incident shows, it is also good to have off-site backups;))

It's easier to maintain, easier to scale and could even be cheaper (but hey we all know you like overkill) 5) If you read till here thank you and now the last tidbit of information: If you would use gluster like it was intended, you could also add your other storage systems (for instance your local steam cache) and _add_ it to the cluster. Than you wouldn't have run out of storage at all! Just add one volume without any replication or erasure coding for the steam cache and one with erasure coding for your editors. BOOM! More space for free! Edit: updated formatting
You saved me writing my comment, so even if no-one else does, i appreciate your comment. Also, i'm a SAN guy, if i saw a setup like that, i'd walk away. There really needs to be someone trained in maintaining and setting up this equipment on site and from the video is was clearly apparent that there isn't. Love LTT and the videos that are pretty much untrained people making the videos, thats the fun, but when it comes to a server room and networking, id definitely suggest getting someone in who knows how to do it properly as that setup is a mess, clearly very inefficiently setup and not maintained correctly. Not knocking LTT here as I love the channel and have been a big fan for a long time, but if youre going to do something that fits a standard, surely it should be done correctly?
This is not a standard build. Anthony said something about "their driver," which suggests that there is some 45-drives magic going on under the hood. I'm sure you noticed they had to maintain a disk-to-slot mapping, and I would speculate that the OEM software does that mapping under the hood, presenting specific slots the way we saw here. I mean, sure they might just be doing it wrong, but it seems unlikely that they'd get to this point in that system's lifecycle without both knowing and mentioning this particular best practice for ZFS. The best part of Gluster is when you can retire it. A broken Gluster setup is a nightmare, and it's prone to breaking IME. I would never use it for this much data and for such trivial reasons-they just want to present multiple servers as a single share.
@@andrewbobulsky3505 Theres not really such a thing as a standard build in SAN architecture, more standard practices, of which, not many were followed. Im not personally looking for an argument btw, I have worked in this industry for a lot of years and im just saying what I see, but i can assure you that anyone in the SAN industry that ive sent this video to have all said the same thing, someone more technical in this field needs to be there. Anthony is great and I think he does some fantastic videos, but I think the "hacking" sort of field seems to suit him and Id have said the commercial IT field would be better left to someone who has worked in this field. Absolutely not a dig at Anthony however, we all have our specialist field within IT, his hacking (the real meaning of hacking, not the script kiddie kind) ability is clearly excellent and very informative.
I mean... in RED's uncompressed raw format at ~5 GB per second, this 15-minute video would be a whopping 4.7 TB. One petabyte would hold about 58 hours of raw footage. (You'd be insane to store everything in raw, but I wouldn't put it past them.)
@Guitar Absolutely nobody has ever forgotten that, and Linus needs Anthony because nobody knows everything. Quit being a stiff and just let people have a laugh.
@@charlesgray6385 Just about all answers are on the internet! If you don't trust regular IT-stuff, then you can even resort to PhD - research and publicly published papers!
Well, the next logical step is an exabyte. That ought to last him a while. Using the 100 TB SSD ExaDrives from NIMBUS, he ought to be able to pack in 100 PB per rack, and I'm sure he can find enough room somewhere in his building to handle 10 racks. Mind, it will be interesting to see how he raises the money to purchase all those drives...
@@meemo4556 Considering that the retail cost of 10,000 ExaDrives (100 TB each) would be about $500 million dollars, I wouldn't expect him to pay full price. But I also wouldn't expect NIMBUS data to give him that many drives free either. And if instead of those 100 TB SSD drives, he goes to something spinning, the number of required drives goes from 10,000 to over 62,500. But Linus wouldn't possibly use that much storage. It's inconceivable.
"I hope it wasn't Samsung" LMAO, that little piece of editing and commentary is why I don't just find these videos interesting, but actually really really funny and entertaining

See, THIS is the kinda crap I wanna be watching on LTT! I really enjoy them systematically going through each problem logically and trying to troubleshoot with their server/networking jargon. Honestly really enjoyable, and I learn a thing or two each time I watch.....
@Donald Duck ... thats the point 50 tera bytes is fuck all for them but its alot to the average person. You just want to argue to seem smart good for you
You know, everyone says to back up your computer, but I don't remember anyone ever saying, "Back up your phone," despite how many people are super-attached to their phone in the modern era.
They not only need proper RGB for disco lighting, they also need to come with a decent 20KW amp on board so you can get that server-room party really started. Oh, wait... maybe we shouldn't give them any more stoopid ideas.
I work for a Data Centre company here in Canada. Depending on the rack, you can actually get proper HEPA filter inserts for the doors or door replacements with the screen built in. That rack looks like is designed for a DC which is great, but means its meant for a clean space. May also wish to consider some form of containment for hot air on the back side, just a simple insulated curtain to separate intake from exhaust and have an exhaust and intake dedicated for front vs rear. Takes very little time, but lowers your cost and increases efficiency of the servers. Since well... helps with cooling so its not eating its own exhaust. We use a vinyl curtain system here, but keep in mind your temps and needs as the vinyl can have issues if temps are too high for prolonged periods of time. But really anything is better than nothing.
"How long did we tell the editors this was going to be?" Use the Scotty formula: think it will take 2 hours? Say 8. If you get it done in 2, you're a miracle worker. Massive overrun? You're on time.

Anthony is the the perfect sidekick or in this case the captain. He's cool, calm and collected and if anything it's that demeanor that helps them figure this whole thing out.
that depends on what cup size the girl in question has I have seen references of cup sizes up to the letter K and those look like they could not only feed a whole block of children, but hold multiple petabytes
2:37 "these two..." He's saying something confusing there, he doesn't literally mean those two actual drives are the parity, he means that out of 15 drives you lose about the space of two.
I would hope they are using 10. IPs.... That said, they may not be allowed to show console windows. Don't know much about Gluster, but if it's not open source it could be licensed in such a way that prevents them since they monetize their videos.

When configuring a ZFS Raid you add devices through their unique identifier (so not through sdx) so that you don't have to label your disks and put them in "the right order".

You have a gluster system and you take all the positive aspects of it and throw it out the window, because you use zfs for so many parts of it.

Normally I would recommend a ceph solution for storage clusters of your size and tell you to use multiple smaller servers instead of your setup that has so many failure points,

If you read till here thank you and now the last tidbit of information: If you would use gluster like it was intended,
you could also add your other storage systems (for instance your local steam cache) and _add_ it to the cluster.
Than you wouldn't have run out of storage at all!
Just add one volume without any replication or erasure coding for the steam cache and one with erasure coding for your editors. BOOM! More space for free!

You saved me writing my comment, so even if no-one else does, i appreciate your comment. Also, i'm a SAN guy, if i saw a setup like that, i'd walk away. There really needs to be someone trained in maintaining and setting up this equipment on site and from the video is was clearly apparent that there isn't. Love LTT and the videos that are pretty much untrained people making the videos, thats the fun, but when it comes to a server room and networking, id definitely suggest getting someone in who knows how to do it properly as that setup is a mess, clearly very inefficiently setup and not maintained correctly. Not knocking LTT here as I love the channel and have been a big fan for a long time, but if youre going to do something that fits a standard, surely it should be done correctly?
This is not a standard build. Anthony said something about "their driver," which suggests that there is some 45-drives magic going on under the hood. I'm sure you noticed they had to maintain a disk-to-slot mapping, and I would speculate that the OEM software does that mapping under the hood, presenting specific slots the way we saw here. I mean, sure they might just be doing it wrong, but it seems unlikely that they'd get to this point in that system's lifecycle without both knowing and mentioning this particular best practice for ZFS.
The best part of Gluster is when you can retire it. A broken Gluster setup is a nightmare, and it's prone to breaking IME. I would never use it for this much data and for such trivial reasons-they just want to present multiple servers as a single share.
@@andrewbobulsky3505 Theres not really such a thing as a standard build in SAN architecture, more standard practices, of which, not many were followed. Im not personally looking for an argument btw, I have worked in this industry for a lot of years and im just saying what I see, but i can assure you that anyone in the SAN industry that ive sent this video to have all said the same thing, someone more technical in this field needs to be there. Anthony is great and I think he does some fantastic videos, but I think the "hacking" sort of field seems to suit him and Id have said the commercial IT field would be better left to someone who has worked in this field. Absolutely not a dig at Anthony however, we all have our specialist field within IT, his hacking (the real meaning of hacking, not the script kiddie kind) ability is clearly excellent and very informative.
I'd love to know Anthony in real life. Dude seems like a genius and I love how he kept his cool during all that.
He is the chosen one. He will bring salvation to the LTT channel and bring forth a tsunami of likes and subs

2019: Out of storage, time for an upgrade
2020: Another Upgrade required
Well, the next logical step is an exabyte. That ought to last him a while. Using the 100 TB SSD ExaDrives from NIMBUS, he ought to be able to pack in 100 PB per rack, and I'm sure he can find enough room somewhere in his building to handle 10 racks. Mind, it will be interesting to see how he raises the money to purchase all those drives...
Jhon cochran he will get the money from ltt water bottles
@@johncochran8497 You think he pays full price for the drives? He outright says he is sponsored by seagate, so he barely pays anything, if at all.
@ 8k raw video from the RED cameras
@@meemo4556 Considering that the retail cost of 10,000 ExaDrives (100 TB each) would be about $500 million dollars, I wouldn't expect him to pay full price. But I also wouldn't expect NIMBUS data to give him that many drives free either. And if instead of those 100 TB SSD drives, he goes to something spinning, the number of required drives goes from 10,000 to over 62,500. But Linus wouldn't possibly use that much storage. It's inconceivable.
"I hope it wasn't Samsung" LMAO, that little piece of editing and commentary is why I don't just find these videos interesting, but actually really really funny and entertaining

therogueasgardian 4lg So did One-Punch Man
the reason the server wasn't working because *you did not have enough rgb*
and watercooling!
Don't forget the 50 ROG Zephyrus(s?) Because Linus apparently has an obsession with ROG.
SERVERS don't run on RGB. It's so rare in servers, LTT actually did a video about a server with RGB.
Servers still need RGB like c'mon.
They not only need proper RGB for disco lighting, they also need to come with a decent 20KW amp on board so you can get that server-room party really started. Oh, wait... maybe we shouldn't give them any more stoopid ideas.
Every video I see Anthony doing something incredible I just imagine his pay getting raised an extra $10,000 a year lol
I work for a Data Centre company here in Canada. Depending on the rack, you can actually get proper HEPA filter inserts for the doors or door replacements with the screen built in.
That rack looks like is designed for a DC which is great, but means its meant for a clean space.
May also wish to consider some form of containment for hot air on the back side, just a simple insulated curtain to separate intake from exhaust and have an exhaust and intake dedicated for front vs rear. Takes very little time, but lowers your cost and increases efficiency of the servers. Since well... helps with cooling so its not eating its own exhaust.
We use a vinyl curtain system here, but keep in mind your temps and needs as the vinyl can have issues if temps are too high for prolonged periods of time. But really anything is better than nothing.
When you have so many channels and a camera that does has such high bandwidth you fill up 1000TB in record time
