When I went to install the ups, I found I had wired that 5 volt psu direct, so I'll need to do a clean shutdown, break into the supply line yadda yadda. At that point I found that the 2nd of 3 rosewill usb-3.1 to sata adapters had died. Gave up for the night and walked away. Today, after loseing 400something at the property tax office, I found another adapter, so I unmounted it, swapped the cable, ran an e2fsck on it which gave the drive a clean bill of health instantly. So I've now written the unpacked 2.7.4 tarball to /media/pi/workspace/nut-2.7.4. The copy operation over an sshfs share, by mc, made it all owned by pi, which is me on that rpi4. Since I already know the cable works and udev finds it by name, I need to ./configure it for usb-only access, but a ./configure --help isn't that helpfull about what else I can disable. So for starters, what's the best ./configure command line? Thanks folks. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
