Public bug reported: following instructions in help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades, modified /etc/apt/sources.list. sudo apt-get update ran without errors. I followed with sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, as usual, and got lots of error. Machine is single purpose, running CrashPlan Pro backup software from code42.com (process proserver, which features heavily in error messages).
chemadmin@toor3:~/Updates20180518$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 15.10 Release: 15.10 dist-upgrade claims problem in mdadm but not clear why. I am running a large ZFS array (about 12 TB) as the target for the CrashPlan Pro backup service. Neither /root nor rest of system in on ZFS. Backups of /etc, /opt (for proserver software) and /home were made to /tank, the ZFS filesystem. ZFS array was running when apt-get dist-upgrade was invoked. I had hoped that this would update 15.10 to latest packages, in prep for do-release-upgrade to 16.04.4. Not clear to me that the updated kernel will boot, especially since got error: insserv: exiting now without changing boot order. Any help you can provie would be great. If necessary, I can unmount the ZFS array, install 16.04 cleanly to system disk, rebuild. Hope I don't have to! sincerely, Eric Lobenstine ProblemType: Package DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 Package: mdadm 3.3-2ubuntu2.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-36.41-generic 4.2.8-ckt8 Uname: Linux 4.2.0-36-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zcommon znvpair zavl ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri May 18 15:33:54 2018 DuplicateSignature: package:mdadm:3.3-2ubuntu2.1:subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-04-05 (772 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Release amd64 (20151021) Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 015: ID 046d:c31c Logitech, Inc.
