Dendrobatus Azureus on Nostr: When was the last time you paid close attention to warnings in a partition Management ...

When was the last time you paid close attention to warnings in a partition Management program? You don't remember? I'm going to tell you beautiful story. Jerry has his data on an SSD. Being the power user is Jerry totally disregarded the fact that he had to make a backup of his data. Jerry wanted to use a partition management program like the one I have included in the photograph I've just made.

He took a few precautions, made sure that he wasn't any browser, made sure that he wasn't on the internet, hell he even plugged out his internet router.

One thing Jerry did not anticipate was a catastrophic failure of a piece of critical hardware in his beautiful computer.
His gorgeous AMD processor had damage, heat damage

TSC = unstable
His GPU integrated in his CPU also had heat damage. When he makes certain simple moves, like moving a window, the GPU goes haywire, sends bad data to the CPU with the unstable TSC and everything cascades down, resulting in a beautiful green screen which Jerry had seen hundreds to thousands of times. These screens usually occurred only when Jerry had opened a browser. Jerry figured he was safe since he had not opened a browser since this session of the Operating System had started

**Wrong**

In the middle of operation that I have just described in the photograph in fact at the beginning within just the second minute of the operation that needs two to three hours, the machine did not crash to green screen, it terminated his Xsession effectively destroying his partition editor.

Jerry was flabbergasted something he had not anticipated

All his data was lost

Since he was not running ZFS, there was no way that he could restore or roll back a snapshot
