n type apt install > firmware-linux-nonfree and reboot. That should take care of it hopefully. This is what I do as well. It works as long as you can get a basic install to complete without use of the non-free hardware. For example: If (as is often the case) the non-free hardware is a wi-fi card, you will have to connect to the network with a wired link (i.e. Ethernet) during the installation and subsequent update to bring in the non-free driver. Hope it helps! Rick

Hi Charles, It would be helpful in diagnosing your problem if you could tell us a little bit more about your configuration… Questions: 1) Do you have ntp installed? 2) Is this a dual-boot system? (Windows and Debian) 3) What is the contents of /etc/adjtime? Enjoy! Rick

Re: Experiences with BTRFS -- is it mature enough for enterprise use?

2017-12-27 Thread Rick Thomas
ll be using BTRFS for my application, I too would appreciate hearing about experiences with ZFS as an alternative. Unfortunately, the application we're using is only available for CentOS-6, so we'll have to pressure the developer to release his CentOS-7 code, but we've got a year to do it, so it's probably do-able. Thanks in advance! Rick
