  • this. the test environments we have need to be built manually and they haven’t been rebuilt in ages.

    apparently it was a multi month project to get it setup in the first place. nothing like trying to recreate a bug in dev and finding out there’s 1000 lines of different code in the sandbox (that’s also misbehaving but in new and fascinating ways)






  • take it out of that adapter. lots of people giving good tips but it’s not worth assuming anything about the drive till you plug it directly in. that’s a pretty high capacity drive, and shitty adapters can misbehave in fascinating ways.

    faint clicking is normal from a drive of this size. bigger drives make bigger noises (especially those designed for use in enterprise environments).

    when you plug it in, run smartctl -a on it and post it here. that’ll be definitive for what’s up before you try any of the more creative solutions here.
