      General Programming Q&A thread! Ask any questions about programming, answer the questions of other users, or post suggestions for future threads.

      Don't forget to format your code using the triple backticks or tildes:

      Here is my schema:
      
      ```sql
      CREATE TABLE article_to_warehouse (
        article_id   INTEGER
      , warehouse_id INTEGER
      )
      ;
      ```
      
      How do I add a `UNIQUE` constraint?

    5. Has anyone with a WD NAS formatted drives for another system?

      This is a total longshot. I moved away from a WD My Cloud EX4100 w/ 3x WD Reds to a new box. I bought two more drives for the new one to make the move easier.

      After the move I took the drives out to format them only to find that each 4TB drive shows a partition of 1.8TB on any other system (diskpart with W10 LTSC, Disk Utility MacOS, and GParted with Ubuntu.) Inside the EX4100 the drives show their full capacity.. and I just don't get it.

      I reached out to their support, but I don't expect much of a response.

      Anybody have any idea why the heck this could be happening? This seems crazy. I don't mind buying more drives, but it seems like a waste when I've got 12TB just sitting there.

    8. Would this be alright for a NAS?

      Right now I've got a shitty WD EX4100 and everything was sort of running along nicely with docker and all, but today it rebooted and decided that it didn't want to do anything with docker anymore. I got the thing before I got into Linux and its time to move on.

      Someone locally is selling the following for $250CAD

      • Quad core Celeron @ 2Ghz
      • 8GB RAM
      • Fractal Node 304 case
      • 2x WD 2TB Red 3.5" hard drives
      • 120GB Kingston SSD
      • 700 watt semi-modular power supply

      All I run are the following:

      • nzbget
      • sonarr
      • qbittorrent (but I'll switch to a better one)
      • serve up content to my HTPC (running Kodi, so no transcoding or anything)

      I don't need the drives that come with it. I'll be putting in 4x 4TB WD Reds. Right now the box is running Open Media Vault 6, so I'll give that a swing, otherwise it'll just be Ubuntu server.

      How does this sound? I'm not opposed to spending some money on a new NAS, I just want something simple that I don't have to fuck around with too much.


      I ended up going with the HP Proliant

      OS: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS x86_64
      Host: ProLiant ML310e Gen8
      Kernel: 5.11.0-43-generic
      CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2 (8) @ 3.700GHz
      GPU: 01:00.1 Matrox Electronics Systems Ltd. MGA G200EH
      Memory: 32GB
      

      It's pretty good so far. Thanks everybody!
