I'm back in Ubuntu, following my ninth failed attempt to install Debian
12. But I should say at the beginning that, like Rich, I've used ext4

external MediaSonic Pro enclosure, I removed the LV and formatted the two
drives to xfs upon advice here. My dirvish backup is on /dev/sde1 and when
that's done rsync copies daily changes to /dev/sdf1.
