When nohup works, it's great. But when it doesn't ( e.g. asks for a

For those not familiar with screen, here are five basic commands to get
started:
# to create a screen session
screen
# to detach from a screen sessio
Four recommendations for troubleshooting:
1) use a test command that is not so destructive when it fails
2) log output
3) run it more frequently
4) include a positive control entry that you know should work and a
negative control that you know won't
For example, replace your original command:

Close. Remember, an awk script has the structure …

So you want ‘NR > 1’ to be a pattern, but you have it as an action.

Just to add a bit of complexity, the number depends on the filesystem
used. While true for an ext* filesystem that the number reflects the count
of the number of folders within a directory, including the pointers to its
parent and itself ( .. and . ), that may not be true on other filesystems,

Just to clarify, md0 seems to be working just fine. It's md1 that seems to
be having an issue(s). And if md1 was partitioned or configured to be used
in an LVM, mounting it won't work.
If we parse the data from lsblk, we can see that md0 is made of 5 devices,

Smells like tethering.
I do that often, just not with that equipment.
To any connected host, it should look like just another Ethernet over USB
connection.
Is that what you are doing?
What issues are you having?

Out-of-band management, e.g. DRAC, does work from boot up. But that's for
servers and a few high-end desktops. But you have to ask yourself, how
often are you messing with the BIOS and/or firmware?
VMs are a nice solution, too: minimal OS + hypervisor on the hardware, then
full OS in a VM. For

That's odd. For comparison, this is what lsblk outputs before and after I
insert a USB stick:
# lsblk
Indeed, that sounds really slow:
( 138GB * 1000MB/GB ) / (26hr * 60min/hr * 60s/min ) = 1.5 MB/s ~ 12 Mbps
That's in the USB1.x range. If you use USB3.0 and can get 100MB/s write
speed, you'd be done in about 6 hours.

In the vein of not answering the question but instead making a side

Some of the questions that folks asked could be answered with some shell
commands. Here they are wrapped in a Docker container.
docker container run --rm -i ubuntu:22.04 <<'eof'
apt-get update
apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
dnsutils whois netbase curl jq
FQDN=www.appl-eco
+1 for screen, tmux, or Docker ( or screen/tmux in Docker ). They all work
really well for reattaching to a running process to view the display.
nohup works, but I've never had good luck with it.

I also alias exit so that I remember to detach instead of exit:
[ ${STY} ] && alias exit="echo You are in a screen: ${STY}."
And I can use \exit if I really want to exit.

Yes, you can run both an Android app and a Linux app at the same time. For
example, at this moment I am running the Brave browser ( an Android app )
and VSCode ( a Linux app ) at the same time.

Something sounds suspicious or pieces to the puzzle are missing. Changing
the passphrase on a private key shouldn't change anything on the public key
side. Could it be that someone slipped a different public key in your
authorized_keys file? - Robert

I’m guessing that your questions might be answered by reading the comments
in your resolv.conf file, especially the part about it being autogenerated
and the part about a manual page.
Usually, personal computers ( contrast with servers ) use DHCP to configure
their network settings. I’m guessing
Yup. Might want to verify that most recent backup.

Talking about installing Linux into a VM, I used to use Vagrant. I say
"used to" because I haven't run my own VM hypervisor in a while as just
about everything I do is either in Docker or in The Cloud.

Why not python/perl/ruby/etc.?
If only given an IPv6 address, this would work:
