Alignment ensures optimal use of your drive, sometimes software gets this wrong and compensates by using a larger cache, check cat /sys/block/sd?/queue/optimal_io_size to correct that you have to re format (likely both the GPT/LVM layers) look into --dataalignment and --dataalignmentoffset

Re: DNS Key rollover for dnsmasq [SOLVED}

H… On further study, it seems that (in Debian Stretch, at least) the root KSK’s used by dnsmasq are taken from the file /usr/share/dns/root.ds, which is provided by the package dns-root-data; and that package seems to be part of the standard Stretch installation. That file lists both keys

Installer can't find network interface on Intel NUC BOXNUC8i3BEH1

I recently bought an intel NUC BOXNUC8i3BEH1. You can see a description of the product at Newegg: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856102213 I’m trying to install Debian Stretch on it debian-9.7.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso and (later) firmware-9.6.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso I

Re: Fully automatic installation of Debian made simple

Great! Sounds wonderful. If I want to set up a VirtualBox VM to run this, what packages/tasks do I want to install other than bare-bones Debian? Then what do I do, once I have Debian plus packages installed? I’ve never used Docker before, so please assume I’m a complete newbie at that part

how to switch a Debian buster system from systemd to sys-v init

Purely out of curiosity, I'd like to see what's involved in switching a Debian buster system from systemd to sysv init. Please, I don't want to restart or get involved in any of the existing systemd/sysv flame wars. I'm *just curious* to see if it would work? First of all, is this even

Re: Installing Debian on iMac

Hi John, and welcome to the Debian community! I assume you have a broadband Internet connection where you will be doing this installation? If so: You’ll want the Mac specific “netinst” installer image[1] that gets most of its software packages from the Debian mirrors on the Web. [1]
