I wish I could read the prompt for this article rather than the LLM fluff it generated.
There's a TL;DR at the top, then I'd think it gets to the article but no, there's another TL;DR and it reads like some weird prose clickbait.
Then the setup section is just, overly confident LLM-ish stuff like:
> The error was perfectly reproducible. Same node number, every time. Even on a freshly formatted volume with barely any data. That ruled out progressive data corruption and pointed to something deterministic.
I just can't.
Couldn’t that have been an underlying block error?
Do we know if they tried 2 different disks?
