I don't know if I really like all this parallel processing at boot time you find in Ubuntu 10 server. I understand the usefulness on a laptop, but for a server booting thrice a year I'm not sold. Besides, when drive checking time comes, you're waiting in the dark with no message at all for that last process to end.
Recently I restarted my main server twice thinking something went wrong the 1st time. In fact, after waiting about 1 hour on the second attempt... I got my login prompt as fsck completed checking a multi-TB array. I left the machine do silently its stuff the 2nd time because I went to see the box and saw the drives in the array being accessed. Otherwise, I would have had no clue of what was going on via the serial console. -- epoch1970 Daily dose delivered by: 2 SB Classic (fw 130), 1 SB Boom (fw 50) SqueezeCenter 7.3.4 (Debian 5.0) with plugins: ContextMenu, SaverSwitcher by Peter Watkins Server Power Control by Gordon Harris WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) FindArt, CDplayer by bpa BBC iPlayer, SwitchPlayer by Triode PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple TrackStat by Erland Isaksson. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79161
