I have done this with Buster and Bullseye.

Save yourself lots of trouble: get the drives configured as individual disks 
and have mdadm or ZFS manage them. hpacucli is terrible to work with and 
relatives of that controller are one of the two RAID families I've worked with 
that had long-term data corruption problems.

Save yourself more trouble: install Bullseye.

Create a LABEL on that FAT partition, then create a noauto by-label fstab entry
for it. Optionally, create a noauto fstab entry using the FAT filesystem's UUID.
Using the LABEL method, you can reuse it on any other sticks you don't want
automounted, as long as you're not going to attach more than one stick with that
label at a time. e.g., make the label NOAUTOMOUNT.

Hi, and WOW. While you're waiting for others to chime in, I found the
following that references basically what you're saying AND
specifically about Debian:

https://serverfault.com/questions/281374/what-is-creating-var-tmp-sort-files/281380

Because I'm not versed in this, I'm not going to try to bring it over
here. I don't want to mess it up. That took at least six or eight
different ways of asking the same question before that potential
answer FINALLY popped up at the top of the search.

IMPORTANT: They mention that one might need to run that "lsof" on the
directory/files a few times if necessary before you finally receive
usable information. It apparently needs to catch the culprit in the
active act of doing whatever is going on.

Best wishes...

They're almost certainly temporary files created by sort(1).

"strings /usr/bin/sort | grep sortX" pretty much confirms this.  The
program contains the string /sortXX which is a template that
could be used by mktemp(3) or a similar routine for temp file name
generation, and it matches the length of your filenames.

So, you're looking for a shell script or a shell command that uses sort,
and has a VERY large input.

Since the files appear on a regular basis, you're probably looking for
something triggered by cron, or a systemd timer.

If you can figure out when the files start appearing, you can narrow
down the start time of the job.  If it's the same start time every day,
that could help you identify which job it is, in case there are lots.
Then again, most systems don't have a huge number of cron jobs, so it
shouldn't be hard to look at all of them.

If it's a different time every day, then you might be looking for systemd
timers.  They're weird and I don't really understand them yet, so if you
have to tackle one of them, good luck.

the files are approx. 13 Gb each.

My big partition is filled by it until the system freezes.

The files are plain text files, containing sshfs paths:

The mail server at your ISP is bouncing it, call tech and have them 
whitelist bendel.debian.org.
That doesn't mean they don't send spam, cuz they do occasionally, but at 
least it won't send you threatening msgs to ignore. You'll then get the

I can’t see your photos, but I am currently dual-booting between Ubuntu 21.10 
(64 bit) and MacOSX 10.7 on a MacBook 2,1 without troubles.

Although you can usually hold down the option key during initial boot-up to 
bring up the Mac’s BIOS boot selector, and then select either the MacOSX 10.7 
partition or the GRUB/linux partition, to make things simpler, most 
walkthroughs recommend installing rEFInd

There are various walkthrus available, and all of them seem to recommend rEFInd 
as well — not doubt I followed one of these several years ago

You don't mention anything about how you boot. From my great
experience of Macs (watching people use them in the last
century), I'm guessing you might have to hold down some key
while you boot. That's not just for dual-booting (certainly
not, 30 years ago), but for doing various Mac-ish things,
so it should be documented somewhere.

Also there were threads here, in late August, about booting Macs.

I found this old bug:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199117

While this may well be a bios bug, I've never had this problem before.
Now I've got it on two different (older machines)

I'll try downgrading the kernel back to 4.19 but has anyone else seen
anything like this?

Tim.




Interestingly the other machine doesn't print any ACPI errors, it just
doesn't turn off.

But I've discovered that it's something to do with xen, not the kernel.
Booting exactly the same kernel outside of xen does power off
successfully with no errors.

And booting with the 4.19 kernel from buster doesn't turn off on the
4.14 hypervisor.

I'm not exactly sure how to roll back to the 4.11 hypervisor. Just
dpkg -i xen-hypervisor-4.11-amd64_4.11.4+107-gef32c7afa2-1_amd64.deb
is enough to get it to boot (although it complains about xen-utils being
the wrong version) and then halt -p does power off

(As expected poweroff behaves identically to halt -p)

And I find this bug has already been opened.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=994899

Unfortunately, the bug isn't very easy to read but I think there might
already be a fix in the pipeline. If not it looks like I can build a
patched hypervisor that doesn't have this problem. I'll investigate
further another day.

Fortunately for me I've been using these machines to test a poor man's
IPMI that I've been developing using a Pi4. I can power them on and off
and watch the boot and shutdown sequence remotely and even tweak the
bios settings. One of the reasons for using these two old machines is
that one only has VGA output while the other has HDMI and also one of
them the normal keyboard gadget cannot control the bios - not sure why -
so I developed an ffs driver instead. So I had them setup specifically
for testing rebooting and power-cycling. Pure luck that I chose to
upgrade them to bullseye and found this issue there.

Tim.

This seems to be perfectly legit and valid. Your mailserver (gmail) 
reject a spam that evaded debian's filters. In rejecting it, it caused a

Since it's only one bounce, nothing happens. Only if your server bounces

Good tip, worth checking also. Check on entirely separate machine using
tool like Capacity Tester (that's a FOSS rewrite of very similar Windows
tool):
https://github.com/c0xc/CapacityTester

Test stick, on two separate computers, if it fails on both, bin.

Create a LABEL on that FAT partition, then create a noauto by-label fstab entry
for it. Optionally, create a noauto fstab entry using the FAT filesystem's UUID.
Using the LABEL method, you can reuse it on any other sticks you don't want
automounted, as long as you're not going to attach more than one stick with that
label at a time. e.g., make the label NOAUTOMOUNT.

It's giving you more feedback than one of mine did.  It just timed out on
all I/O operations, during an attempted Mint 20 Install (making me think
Mint was more Defective than it is.  [Disclaimer:  It does what it needs to
do, and is good for a beginner]).

Finally, I smelled a rat, aborted the Mint install and tried to read it on
a different machine.

I ran badblocks (without options) and then with -s -n and this produced a

They go bad often. I won't even purchase one from FedEx Office anymore,

Het probleem is niet ssh-1; het probleem is SHA-1 als MAC.

https://shattered.io/ is... "interessant".

Je kan eventueel de SHA1 ciphersuites terug aanzetten, maar da's niet
echt een goed idee, vooral niet als je server vanop het grote boze
Internet bereikbaar is.

Debian 11 on old Macbook

[frantal]

Hello,

I installed Debian 11 (386) on a 2009 Macbook Pro 13 "(5.5).

The installation did not give me any problems except it did not detect wifi 
card and touchpad, but I was connected with ethernet and used an external 
mouse, so the whole process ended.

During the installation phase of Grub I only chose the hd that appeared in the 
window and did all the installer.

I enclose photos of the subdivision that the installer did. I only chose to 
install Debian on a partition that I had left empty choosing partitions / and 
home Unfortunately Debian does not appear on reboot and neither does Grub, but 
Mac OS (Snow Leopard) starts immediately How can I solve this problem?

If I reinstall using AMD64 instead, what can be the right suggestions to 
install Grub in the right place to reboot with it?

Thanks and regards

You'll need to explain what you were trying to do, and what

Yes.

When even the lowly and beyond-cheap flash controller of a USB stick
throws external errors, then it is time to just throw it away.

No.

Re: How to NOT automatically mount a specific partition of an external device?

[Keith Bainbridge]

Steve

I use a line in /etc/fstab like this for just this purpose:

UUID=  /mount/point/you/want   ext4defaults,noexec,noauto  0
2

Rememer to mkdir -p the mount point you want.  And it doesn't have to
be /media.

The noexec means nothing can run from the device - not even root. You
may not want that situation

All the best

Re: Re : [HS] Utilisation d'une alimentation universelle de PC portable [RESOLU]

[Olivier]

Merci à tous pour vos réponses !

Il semble donc que les PC portables acceptent dans les faits, une plage de
tension plutôt qu'une tension fixe unique, ce qui explique que certaines
alimentations universelles ne proposent aucun mécanisme de sélection de
tension.
 Encore merci.

Oui il y a ce problème aussi, le DNS fonctionne tant que j'attribue une ip

How to NOT automatically mount a specific partition of an external device?

[steve]

Hi,

I have an external ssd with two partitions. One is for Windows and the
other one is an ext4 partition for data.

Every time I plug in this ssd (via usb3), both partitions are mounted
automatically.

mount command gives:

/dev/sdh1 on /media/steve/Samsung_T5 type fuseblk 
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096,uhelper=udisks2)
/dev/sdh2 on /media/steve/T5Linux type ext4 
(rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,stripe=8191,uhelper=udisks2)

I don't need /dev/sdh1 under linux (it's mainly my son's game stuff). I
also see sometimes errors in /var/log/syslog related to that partition.

So is there a way to automatically mount /dev/sdh2 but not /dev/sdh1?

Thanks

steve
