Even more Death

My Windows 10 VM suffered a MEMORY_MANAGEMENT BSOD during a several hours long gaming session. Then the UI and console all locked up, so I cold rebooted the machine. Then I noticed my cache volume, during a routine check, had a mess of errors.

 

I attempted to use btrfs recover, but that only produced about 650MB of sparse data, out of over 300GB.

 

So I've nuked my VMs and Docker containers, and restored my AppData backup, reformatted the cache, then started a newer and much smaller Windows 10 VM. I already have it up and running now, with passthrough video card, and Steam installed again. Now it is fetching the game I left behind, and I'm hoping at least some of my save got synchronized over Steam Cloud. I've also given the VM 12GB of RAM instead of just 8.

 

If only I had been running some sort of VM backup schedule.
