 ology freedom&#13\;\nStream: http://pdxlinux.org/live/&#13\;\n&#13\;\nWe
  are addicted to storage devices like hard and solid state disks.&#13\;\
 n&#13\;\nModern computing begins with storage and could survive quite so
 me time without the computing part\, as demonstrated by past storage dev
 ices like the Rosetta Stone for which we struggle to decode.&#13\;\n&#13
 \;\nThis means HDD's and SSD's are reliable\, right?&#13\;\n&#13\;\nAlas
 \, they are not. In fact the situation is somewhat terrifying. File syst
 ems have made significant progress in the last decade but remarkably\, t
 here are still significant issues surrounding the devices they inhabit.&
 #13\;\n&#13\;\nStorage devices are inconsistent\, to put it politely\, a
 bout notifying the user of existing\, potential and impending problems. 
 Built-in\, standard-ish reporting mechanisms like S.M.A.R.T. exist but p
 ose as many challenges as they address. Some storage &quot\;health&quot\
 ; monitoring data is straight-forward\, some is not:&#13\;\n&#13\;\nhttp

 head to the Lucky Lab at 915 SE Hawthorne Blvd. after the meeting.&#13\;
