Spinning into madness: More disks than your kernel can count, just for fun - (Episode 135)

from That IT show · host thatitshow

Picture this: your server room has turned into a disco floor, and every drive is demanding its own spotlight. Thirty disks whirl in perfect sync, but then a rogue 31st struts in, and suddenly your operating system starts sweating like it’s at a math exam it didn’t study for. This episode dives into the hilarious chaos of kernels that choke on too many spindles. These OS quirks make disk handling a balancing act, and why storage can feel less like engineering and more like herding caffeinated hamsters on a wheel. Buckle up—we’re about to spin straight into madness.
