Re: Failure in fuse3 hook prevents initramfs update

2022-10-29 Thread Joe Pfeiffer
Further follow-up: the problem appears to be that something else has already put mount.fuse3 in the initramfs. Replacing the failing line with copy_exec /sbin/mount.fuse3 /sbin || true allows me to create the initramfs, and the system boots, but I doubt it's an optimal solution.

Re: debian freezing

2022-10-17 Thread Joe
ebian 11 might just be stressing the CPU a little more, enough to cause thermal trouble in something else due to increased heat. In that case, the CPU should detect the higher temperature and slow down, so it probably isn't that which is failing. If it's a desktop, it's worth reseating all the connectors, which is also worth doing with a laptop but is usually much more difficult. -- Joe

Re: systemd automount unit: run only when server is reachable

2022-09-12 Thread Joe
-systemd.automount options, among others. Without the noauto it will assume every fstab entry is required for booting and will hang on boot if it can't find one. With both, it automounts at first access, and therefore may never mount if it's not needed for anything. I would assume it would work similarly with nfs instead of cifs. -- Joe
