Badblocks missing on Scale?

In that realm, there has always been a plethora of tools driven by the community. From small projects using X264 to test the stability of Intel CPUs to large ones designed to stress test your RAM. In the TrueNAS community too, we’ve had varying tools for testing drives like the solnet-array-test and the in…

Shameless and unprofessional. I was very close to flagging your post as spam.
