Quoting like above works fine for plain text messages with hard line ends, but 
for one-line-per-paragraph HTML messages this style does not make sense, and 
actually most cleints can't properly quote HTML messages, so the best 
alternative is top-posting.

As you see I live in both worlds, preferring text/plain ;-)

Ulrich

Do'h. I was using sbc (sierra bravo charlie) not sdc (sierra delta charlie). 
Used the fdisk and further confirmed that sdc was correct. 

Thanks!

Per the doc, the example "Assum[es] the secondary hard disk is at
/dev/sdb". This may not be true in your case. Determine the appropriate
/dev for your secondary hard drive with "sudo fdisk -l | more" (the
physical device you want will not have a number on the end; ones with
numbers appended are partitions on the physical device), then adjust the
command line accordingly. Welcome to GNU/Linux!

Thanks to all of you that replied. I was able to get this setup once I stopped 
making typing and syntax errors.

Posting your reply after a quoted portion has only been the standard on
mailing lists for 30+ years; I'm sure those whiz kids at Google know
best by making it difficult to do.

Brendan,

That was the issue - I was using sbc (sierra bravo charlie) not sdc (sierra 
delta charlie). It is the latter. After correcting the typo, subsequent 
commands per instructions worked without error until I got to adding the new 
pool with qvm-pool and the python script(s) had a fit with something. Probably 
a typo or lack of understanding, but I need to look at it in the AM with a 
fresher set of eyes. Copy/paste is still a bit tricky - but it's by design - 
otherwise I'd drop it in here.

[qubes-users] Using secondary storage

2020-02-12 Thread donovang
I am attempting to setup some secondary storage per 
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/secondary-storage/ and when I run " sudo 
cryptsetup luksFormat --hash=sha512 --key-size=512 --cipher=aes-xts-plain64 
--verify-passphrase /dev/sdc" I get "Device /dev/sbc doesn't exist or access 
denied". It's there in a dom0 terminal when I type "ls /dev/sb*" I am assuming 
sba is the boot raid1 and sbb is the ROM drive. 

My boot drive is an SSD RAID1 on an Intel embedded controller, standard stuff. 
The drive I want to add is attached to an embedded LSI SAS controller. I can 
attach the sbc device to a VM easy enough but it seems I am missing a step to 
make it dom0 aware. I am running an up-to-date Qubes 4.x installed on a 
SuperMicro serverboard, Xeon something or other (4-core, 3.4GHz) with 32GB RAM 
(retired ESXi host). I think it is booting with GRUB. 

FULL DISCLOSURE: I am a *nix newbie really. I've played with embedded *nix, 
built my share of ESXi boxes and what not, but not really dug into the nuts and 
bolts of it like I've have been since installing Qubes, which I think is 
fantastic for its purpose. I want to commit to Qubes as my primary box but I 
really need to understand it first, especially, ahem, disaster recovery. I have 
not run a Linux desktop for any significant length of time prior to this either 
- mostly M$ (since the IBM model 5150), a wee bit of OS/2 Warp (the best 
multi-node PCBoard BBS host evah!) and a brief fling with the Mac OS before 
they went to Intel chips. 

Yes, I could just go buy a bigger pair of SSDs and restore a backup to them, 
but then I won't really learn anything and I'll be a wee bit poorer for it. 

Thanks. 

DG
