Re: Does jessie install grub on both raid0 disks?
Am 15.09.13 07:58, schrieb Francesco Pietra: Hello: I was unable to trace whether new debian installers include for amd64 an option to install grub on both disks of a raid0. If yes, it would be convenient to carry out a new installation of jessie instead of dist-upgrading from wheezy. Wheezy - at the time I upgraded to it - had no such option. Thanks francesco pietra Just in case, my 2 cents. If there is an option to install the grub boot loader on _every_ disk of a raid system, it would make sense to do it in a way the systems boots when sda is dead or missing. Worst case would be, do install the uuid from the first disk aka /dev/sda on both grub installations as location for the kernel and initramdisk. Furthermore I expect that dpkg-reconfigure grub will give me the new option and I don't need a new installation.

Re: RAID1 all bootable

Hope not to bother you, I summarize my procedure; Using the amd64 wheezy beta 4 installer, downloaded Feb 1, 2013, I got the same situation as described above by fdisk -l. That installation ended by asking install grub on /dev/sda?. I accepted the proposal, whereby the terminal showed grub-install /dev/sda update grub At next boot, I run grub-install /dev/sdb which was accepted without any error or warning message. After shutdown -h now, trying to boot, the system entered grub rescue. ... Hello debian users, I can verify the error Francesco reported. I have a Laptop, swapped the optical drive for a ssd. To test debian 7. There is already windows and debian 6 on sda with grub installed on sda. The installation was fine an ended with grub installing two Linux boot entries (sda, sdb) and one entry for windows on sda (very sad you can't choose the device grub should install at this point). And it does work well. As I thought by myself: It would be nice to use the ssd as an emergency (usb) boot device for other computers, it was mbr formated and the root partition was marked as bootable. So it should have grub installed to it, too. I thought grub-install /dev/sdb should be enough to make the sdb bootable. Done that without an error message. But ... I restarted the Laptop, telling the BIOS to boot from ssd (sdb) ... I get the error: symbol not found: 'grub_divmod64_full' And all I get is the 'grub rescue' prompt. On the other hand ... I have a desktop running windows on sda (without grub) and debian 7 grub on sdb. To boot into Linux, I change the BIOS boot device to sdb. I have choosen the sdb even before installing Linux. I assume Linux isn't messed up by this. But on the Laptop (or Francescos raid1 setup) it gets confused, because the BIOS (or the lost raid1 drive) changed the numbering of the disks? But what's the point of installing grub on more than one disk, if it doesn't boot when one disk is missing?

Re: apt: cron.daily necessary?
Hello to all amd64 users, there is a check in my /etc/cron.daily/apt script that uses on_ac_power to find out if it's running on battery. It should _not_ start when on battery, I guess. Don't know if that runs as it should do, I have a desktop. Something different. There is a sleep command involved. So it takes a long time to run but doesn't generate much fuzz on my system. Perhaps it isn't red handed? Ralf Am 08.09.2009 um 13:42 schrieb Hans-J. Ullrich: Hi all, I would like to discuss and suggest the following thing: On my 64-bit notebook I am using anacron and (of course) apt. In the apt package included is the file /etc/cron.daily/apt, which contents some lines, which are starting a find process. This find process initiated by apt (and I hope, I am right with this information of the initiation source) consumes a lot of harddrive actions for several minutes after boot, which makes the computer at this time rather slow. Of course, it is one of the processes started by anacron. IMO this is an annoying situation for notebook users, as sepeciela , when you just want to start, wanted to do some things quickly, and then shutting down again - just as many notebook users do! My suggestion to this problem are these: 1. delete /etc/cron.daily/apt manually O.k., this can be easily done, but how necessary is this file at all? 2. If this file is not very necessary do not put /etc/cron.daily/apt into the apt-package, but maybe it should be put into some other package (for example cron-apt), or , another opportunity, as a standalone package. 3. put this file to cron.monthly or cron.weekly, or, let it start manually somehow (this third option was just a thought) What do you think? Is there a way and a chance, to improve things? Any feedback will be very welcome. Best wishes Hans-J.

Re: How can I set going more one Tor daemons?
Am 15.08.2009 um 18:47 schrieb James Brown: I have a laptop with the Debian Lenny AMD64 and I want to start several Tor daemons in one moment, each for every user. How can I do it? Why? To torify web browsing, all you have to do is install an add-on to firefox. If you like to share some bandwidth to the tor community, install one tor daemon on your internet connection. A nice combination is a squid server in your local net and link the squid to a tor daemon on the same machine. I've set up a cascade with tor to privoxy to havp to squid. And if I choose the squid proxy, it's routed through through the cascade and leaves through tor. On every machine and browser that's configured to use the proxy. So why would you like to run one tor deamon for every user on one machine when one daemon for all users of your local net will do? As tor is a daemon, why would someone like to start one for every user? You don't start a nfs server or a sshd server for every user? A little bit puzzled.
