Accidentally nuking it is my main concern. Using another partition is likely the answer to this; I used it when I did major Debian upgrades from one stable to the next. (I have had those upgrades fail). But grub is such a rat's nest that I worry about getting an experimental vdev too early in the boot process to be able to avoid it with grub's boot menu. Is this a real concern? -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
