#NetBSD pkgsrc note on scrapers.

Updated post to mark the release of NetBSD 11.0!

For my install I wanted to include disk encryption to protect personal data in case the device is lost or stolen. Its not enough to simply encrypt home directories. Passphrases and sensitive data can linger and be extracted from locations such as system logs and swap memory. There is a trade-off to be made between how much to encrypt, the convenience of operating the system, and the ability to boot.

Regardless, I need an #ubuntu live image to recover some stuff from #netbsd before I wipe that shit clean. Might as well grab the current LTS.

So I rebooted. That failed. A hard reset was necessary.

And now the file system is corrupted beyond repair somehow. fsck_ffs can't proceed past phase 1. smartctl reports that the drive is fine. I'm getting "EXCESSIVE BAD BLKS" on multiple inodes.

That ends my #netbsd adventure, I guess.
