[ale] MySQL array based snapshot

[Jim Kinney]

That sounds like a crappy chip/driver combo. Care to share brand so we
can avoid the pain?

I've got a LaCie 2Tb USB3 drive that runs with no issues conected to a
Mac. Plugged into my Fedora 24 Dell I see drive issues all over and
half the time the unit won't mount spewing errors messages about bad
drive IO.

I plugged it into a USB2 Mac running MacOS and it said it was fine.
Format that drive with a Linux install and the new Linux says the drive
is bad. Reinstall the Mac and it says it's badd as well. Upgrade the
Mac to the latest version and it says the drive is fine.

I trust the Linux messages.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
