Can't, don't know how yet with the new 9.4 install.
What I can say is that it doesn't seem to return any errors, but an apt
update is completed in somewhat more than a second, and according to the
traffic leds in an 8 port switch, generates no net traffic. This after I
had commented out the cdrom entry in sources.list.
Is there a way to turn up the debugging? I hadn't thought of it till just
now, but next time I install that drive and boot from it, I'll find out
if strace is installed by default. That may be somewhat more
educational.
But first, I had that drive plugged into sata-6, and had to use the bios
boot menu to select it to boot from, so I'm going to unload the middle
drive in the hot plug cage, and see if it will find it automatically on
sata-2 when the top drive (sata-1) is ejected.
I also want to remove all small partitions and re-format another of those
drives, re-configureing it for amanda's use. That will replace a 1T in
slot 3 of that cage, with a 2T, so amanda will have a little bit more
play room. I should at the same time, wheel it out to the front deck and
attack the dust bunny's with an air hose, its been about a year & the
fan blades are getting heavy. But here this afternoon its intermittently
dumping the Jolly Green Giants boots after a hard party last night, so
that can wait.
I'll be back when I have something to report.
Thanks Tomas.
