data recovery & windwaker
August 20th, 2005With Jetha’s music collection and Alan’s now well organised anime dvd collection, I was able to recover most of the good anime series that should remain on psrv. Now all that’s left is the japan folder, which means gen has to lan.

I must say, cd/dvd storage has really improved. It almost makes me want to get a dvd drive ^^;
I’ve been running some benchmarks on my raid and it doesn’t seem to be performing to its usual standard. It doesn’t seem to be the file system (XFS as usual) but rather the IDE controller being the bottleneck. Not sure if this is just a driver/kernel problem, but it definitely needs to be checked out. Especially when moving psrv to gigabit :O. Throughput seems limited to around 50-70mb/s, but this is the same with a non-raided drive as well. Will look into it further over the weekend.
In other news, my join effort with Alan to complete Zelda Windwaker finally came to a conclusion as we beat gannon… until alan overwrote our complete savegame with the second quest one (basically play through a second time with small differences). So we started to play again, from the beginning. Just climbing the deku tree at the moment! Such an awesome game.
