@Dashrender Fair point, some is no doubt carrier driven and I accept that most users would have difficulty telling the difference. I still don't think that makes your point though. They may not intend all their add ons to hurt their product - probably quite the reverse; it still happens however. Imagine how much faster a Galaxy S5 would be running vanilla as an example.

I'm not sure I buy that - HTC or Samsungs add ons, I really doubt that would release a product where their add-ons hurt their product... but the carriers, that's another story... but who knows.. I could be wrong.

Carrier crapware will be the undoing of Android.
And vendor bloat too. I enjoy my nexus5 for it's lack there of.

@JaredBusch If it was in production, 100% agree. I unfortunately don't have time to poke at it today so I'll let it sit.

@scottalanmiller I'll give it 24h to sort it's self out - if it was the hub, that'll give it time to heal. I really don't expect anyone's tested it with such poor networking gear and while I didn't expect it to cause issues, it's outside of what I'd expect them to support.

Note: all errors mentioned below still exist on the "vancouver" unit as I post this, including wacky dedupe ratio, 100GB greater capacity in use and file system inconsistency error

Connected the delinquent "vancouver" one back up to clean 100mbit lan, will see if anything changes.

I think this would benefit Mr. Average Joe.... a lot.
Better still, BAN THE CRAPWARE straight from the manufacturer. Want to sell PC's with Windows? Don't install anything other than drivers. The end. -

@IRJ Just take the battery out, caulk shut the doors and fill it with 100% alcohol cleaner through the sunroof. It's the IT way.

That's a lot of dust and crap built up on the rims, make sure you check the brakes carefully.

RE: Exablox testing journalposted in IT Discussion
Have not yet contacted support as I suspect this may be related to the really crappy networking I gave it. I will let it sit and stew for another day as I have no time to poke it today.

RE: Exablox testing journalposted in IT Discussion
Seems like the errors from last week have gotten strange. I've only been loading data to the "victoria' unit, however the "vanouver" one is showing greater storage used, along with a really sweet amount of dedupe

I'd like to toy with one to control all the stuff in my apartment. Need network / wifi / whatever enabled powerbars but that's not a huge hurdle anymore.
