I want to build a file server with limited power usage, so I got myself an ALIX alix2d13 which has 256MB DDR RAM. I connected a 2TB USB2.0 disk to the alix2d13 to be used as storage. The file system gets corrupted due to power failure, which is likely going to happen when running Solar Power in The Netherlands, I cannot fix it anymore cause the fsck_ufs never to complete. This actually makes sense as the recommendation [1] says ``1TB storage needs 1GB of RAM for fsck_ufs''. I can partition my disk in 16 parts of 128GB to work around the matter, but I rather keep one large partition. Any recommendations of getting this solved or will the smaller partitions be my only friend?
