Did I just brick my SAS drive?
I was trying to make a pool with the other 5 drives and this one kept giving errors. As a completer beginner I turned to gpt.....
What can I do? Is that drive bricked for good?
Don't clown on me, I understand my mistake in running shell scripts from Ai...
Edit: EMPTY DRIVES NO DATA
The initial error was:
Edit: sde and SDA are the same drive, name just changed for some reason And also I know it was 100% my fault and preventable π
Don't trust AI to know what they're doing for you. The only time they work reliably as a tool is when you already know what you're doing enough to spot their errors/hallucinations.
AI is the wrong tool here. You need to do real internet research.
Exactly this. People here mass downvote but I personally find AI to be extremely useful... To do things I already know how to do but don't have the time for. I don't trust it to do things I can't spot the errors in
The only useful thing I've found so good for is quickly scrubbing though shops. They are really good at looking at hundreds of urls and reviewing the content and then vomiting up the results
When looking for a laptop it was invaluable.
Those sub reddits that are basically nothing but people asking for laptop recommendations basically could just be replaced with a LLM.
AI is after all the perfect example of wisdom of the masses. Aka 80% accurate 80% of the time.
Seriously trying to find a 18 inch hdr laptop with a AMD CPU and replaceable ram that did not contain a laundry list of parts that I know have no driver support on Linux... Is a pain in the ass. Cause half the time AMD laptops arnt advertised at fucking all and sit on some random page you have to know just exists.
Even using newegg filters couldn't find the fucking laptop cause of mislabeling. But the AI found it.
Fucking thing is like a web crawler on crack.
