Ah, you mean a Deutschkompoundenwordkopf.

I’ve used many calipers with a vernier scale, but for some reason I’ve never seen the use of slots like this to simplify and highlight the reading. It’s actually a very obvious thing now I’ve seen it. Are there any commercial calipers that have it?

I had one too. Besides the screen resolution, the actual worst thing about them was the MMC storage. Literally slower than a 5400rpm HDD. Mine was the one with the slightly faster atom CPU, but it was bottlenecked by the crazy slow storage.

I’ve done something like this before, but thankfully it only impacted services that I host for my own use, didn’t affect any family and friends.

Btw, I’ve found the easiest (but not the cheapest) way to fix this is to simply buy bigger disks. Swap out each disk for a bigger one one-by-one, then resize the whole volume to fill the new disks. Resizing upwards is much faster than shrinking a volume.

I’ve never had a volume shrink operation work without errors, and yes it takes days if you have more than 4TB.
