| 22:37.41 | canurabus | hi... what's the recommended way to run scripts when debian starts up? |
| 22:38.25 | nsadmin | are the scripts in a place you would call their permanent home? |
| 22:38.40 | jhutchins_wk | dioz: I always avoid lvm as an unnecessary complication, but I would not be surprised if you couldn't preserve the data. What I'd do rather than delete the files is just delete the partition. |
| 22:39.07 | nsadmin | or keep it and format |
| 22:39.20 | abrotman | !tell canurabus about run at startup |
| 22:39.22 | canurabus | nsadmin, yes. They need root permission if that makes a difference |
| 22:39.41 | jhutchins_wk | Formatting 10TB is going to take a while in any case. |
| 22:39.58 | jhutchins_wk | Having 10TB means reconciling yourself to long sysadmin tasks. |
