LVM is the Linux Volume Manager. In short it's kind of like a partitioner inside the OS (but with lots of cool features, like encryption, snapshots and restores, and caches, RAID)

So you add all your drives, potentially with different groups like NVME, SSD. Then in those groups you create a volume (think partition).

Examples:

  • For example my laptop has one drive, and one volume group, but I have a separate volume for home so I can take snapshot (which are small if things haven't changed much!) and keep my home direecty when installing a new distro. I also make a separate volume for a VM to keep my machine clean.

  • My server, however, has 2 NVME drives and 12 spinning rust drives in 3 USB enclosures. Each USB drive is set as its own VG. USB is slow though, LVM to the rescue.

I set the rest of the space on the 1st NVME and all the space on the 2nd NVME to work as a cache for each of the external enclosures.

Now writes are NVME speeds and it will write back to the spinning rust at USB speed. Reads from the usb enclosures if cached are at NVME If it's in the read cache I get is at NVME speeds, otherwise it reads off the drive. At this point my read cache since creation is 82% and continuing to climb. So less than 1/5th of the reads actually went over the USB. At the rate it's climbing the current hit rate must be in the mid to high 90s.

A pre-seed file is basically the answers to all the questions the installer would normally ask, like how to partition the drives, what mirror to use, software to install, settings to make, etc. default user accounts, etc. Now you can run that installer on a machine and walk away until it's done.

What, exactly, is the current LVM setup?

does sda1p2_crypt need to be mounted and/or preserved at that point in the script?

What is the full command being run that fails?

The easiest answer might just be to remove it from the group and then add it back

pvremove /dev/sda1p2_crypt

your code

vgextend crypt /dev/sda1p2_crypt

Wasn't there a drone company meeting or training there?

Everyone I know uses signal, even our neighborhood group messaging is a signal group.

Then again my neighbors are all reasonable people.

Actual health insurance is literally illegal in the USA. It's all some sort of partially pre-paid health subscription crap that you get punished for not buying. Every time the government steps in the help they make it worse, even as far back as WW2 with "salary caps" leading to extra non-monetary incentives, like medical insurance, company car, etc. Then the government gives business tax breaks to provide insurance making it more expensive for an individual to buy so now your health is tied to your work. Then they help by... etc. etc. etc.

Depends on what age you could as "child". But yeah.

9 hours later, reading through this whole thread, has it changed your opinion? Because about 80% of the comments are from hexbear users generally being shitheads.

Is that what you want the newcomer experience to be?

"Just build a block list of a couple dozen communities and a few hundred @hexbear accounts and then it's not so bad!" isn't something a newbie is going to put up with.

Socialism is a single party system. All other parties have to go. That're core to the philosophy.

Please keep it up, it'll make defederating an easier decision.

Name one regulation, that doesn't exist, that would be constitutionally valid that you would propose?

What part of "toxic shitposters with toxic mods should be defederated" is "red scare"?
