The canopy thing is probably easier to transport and set up, but the advantage of this is you can just toss the shower curtain in the washing machine for cleanup.
Lions are growing like yellow roses on the wind and we turn gracefully in the medieval garden of their roaring blossoms. Oh, I want to turn. Oh, I am turning. Oh, I have turned. Thank you.

It's best to use gdisk
instead of parted
to create the partition(s), since parted doesn't have the logic to create a filesystem with an optimal performance offset. It's strange, because it will complain if the position isn't optimal, but it won't tell you what the optimal value should be.
badblocks -v -w -p 2 -s -t random -b 4096 -o mynewhd.badblocks /dev/sdb1
Option/argument | Notes |
---|---|
-v | Print verbose info to stderr |
-w | Enable write-mode testing |
-p 2 | Require no new bad blocks for 2 passes |
-s | Show progress (of current pass) |
-t random | Test pattern: random |
-b 4096 | Block size: 4096 |
-o mynewhd.badblocks | Write bad block data to file (instead of stdout) for future use by fsck/mkfs |
From what I understand from talking to storage experts, it's highly likely that a hard drive that's going to have bad blocks soon, will have them right out of the gate. In other words, if you do a full test of the disk when you receive it and it comes out OK, you can be relatively assured that it won't go out “early” (e.g. before what you'd normally expect from lifetime wear and tear).
It's important to get the block size right, so that any bad blocks that badblocks records will line up with the blocks in the filesystem you create later. The default block size mkfs will use when creating ext4 filesystems is 4096, but if you're going to create a filesystem with a different block size then specify that size instead. Obviously, if you already have an existing filesystem on the partition, you're going to want to use a filesystem tool to do a non-destructive write test (such as e2fsck -cc
).
This command took about 11 hours (10:48:23.28 to be precise) on a Seagate 8 TB 7200 RPM external USB drive (don't know if it was USB 2.x or 3.x though) using -p 0
(which means it stopped after the first pass). If multiple passes are required, presumably they'll each take the same amount of time.
mkfs --verbose --type ext4 -l mynewhd.badblocks /dev/sdb1
echo "UUID=$(blkid -s UUID -o value /dev/sdb1) /mnt/point ext4 defaults,user 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
#!/bin/sh target_device="/dev/sdb1" device_uuid="$(blkid -s UUID -o value ${target_device})" bad_blocks_file="bad-blocks-${device_uuid}.badblocks" mount_point="/mnt" block_size=4096 badblocks -v -w -p 2 -s -t random -b ${block_size} -o "${bad_blocks_file}" "${target_device}" && mkfs --verbose --type ext4 -b ${block_size} -l "${bad_blocks_file}" "${target_device}" && echo "UUID=${device_uuid} ${mount_point} ext4 defaults,user 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

They've got to go, man; at least as a configurable option. I've got no problems with a little local color for casual play, but this stuff has no business in a serious competitive game with the kind of skill margins CS:GO has.
