| 00:16.38 | imMute | where to start... /boot is way too big. /usr/local doesn't need to be it's own partition, neither does usr. why is /tmp ext2? Why is /srv separate? Why is /var/mail separate? |
| 00:17.01 | sney | maybe they're playing "no space left on device" roulette ;) |

| 05:46.58 | StarOnD | Hello I have Debian buster and an ext4 file system. I wish to make snapshots of files in the /home directory while my users may be writing to their home directory. I do not wish to format to LVM for the sake of snapshots. What should I do ? I have read about dmsetup command, however I am a little confused as to what it can do. Can someone please |
| 05:46.59 | StarOnD | help me make snapshots WITHOUT formatting the disk to LVM ? |
| 05:50.45 | *** join/#debian stree (~stree@68.36.8.116) |
| 05:52.22 | cluelessperson | StarOnD, ext4 is a filesystem with a explicit list of features |
| 05:52.33 | cluelessperson | StarOnD, "snapshots" are not supported by ext4 |
| 05:53.21 | *** join/#debian werneta (~werneta@70-142-214-115.lightspeed.irvnca.sbcglobal.net) |
| 05:53.47 | cluelessperson | StarOnD, ultimately, to have atomic snapshots, you have to have a layer that supports it between files / storage. |
| 05:53.57 | StarOnD | cluelessperson, what exactly is a device mapper ? Can it be used to make snapshots ? |
| 05:55.03 | cluelessperson | StarOnD, I haven't reviewed that closely, but I think it's used to map software wrapped devices, as devices. |
| 05:55.30 | StarOnD | cluelessperson, https://blog.oddbit.com/post/2018-01-25-fun-with-devicemapper-snapshot/ |
| 05:55.36 | cluelessperson | StarOnD, So you have actual devices, and you have software that acts on those devices, and need a way to map a new device from the software. |
| 05:56.15 | StarOnD | cluelessperson, can a device mapper "map" an ext4 device to create snapshots? Do I misunderstand? |
| 05:57.46 | cluelessperson | StarOnD, something like: block_storage - kernel - file_system or block_storage - kernel - logical_volume_manager - device_mapper - file_system ? |
| 05:58.01 | *** mode/#debian [+l 1116] by debhelper |
| 05:58.11 | cluelessperson | StarOnD, ah, so, it looks like device mapper may support writing diffs to another block device, and acting as that snapshot layer I suggested. |
| 05:58.26 | cluelessperson | in which case, you'd be inserting device mapper in there like |
| 05:58.58 | cluelessperson | block_storage1, block_storage2 - kernel - device_mapper - file_system |
| 05:59.04 | cluelessperson | --- |
| 05:59.43 | StarOnD | cluelessperson, I need to become an expert in device mapper |
| 05:59.58 | StarOnD | any hints? |
| 06:00.00 | cluelessperson | StarOnD, https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/device-mapper/snapshot.txt |
| 06:01.02 | StarOnD | cluelessperson, looks like we CAN make snpashots in ext4 file systems then. correct? |
| 06:02.34 | cluelessperson | StarOnD, you happened to identify that the underlying device mapper supports snapshots using COW. :P |
| 06:02.57 | cluelessperson | StarOnD, more like, "snapshots ahead of" not "in" |
| 06:03.47 | cluelessperson | StarOnD, so basically, you'd have to setup a second block device, configure device-mapper to use it for snapshots, then remount root on it, make sure it works |
| 06:03.54 | cluelessperson | reconfigure to boot on that. |
| 06:04.10 | StarOnD | cluelessperson, many thanks, I am a little confused though. is rebooting a must? |
| 06:04.49 | cluelessperson | StarOnD, to test that it automatically loads that properly and uses it as intended after an eventual reboot, yes. |
| 06:05.00 | cluelessperson | to test if it works at all immediately, no. |
| 06:05.24 | cluelessperson | StarOnD, servers 100% fail/restart eventually, anything you setup in production or long term should be tested across reboots. |

My Bullseye system seems to read in /etc/environment.d, but according to "man environment.d", I should be able to create ".config/environment.d" and this is not working. |

| 19:53.14 | NetTerminalGene | jhutchins: i don't remember. it was just in searches |
| 19:53.32 | NetTerminalGene | jhutchins: but you're right. maybe i am wrong |
| 19:53.52 | NetTerminalGene | i may seen different stuff |
| 19:53.59 | greycat | ScottPilgrim: PAM does it. PAM in turn is run by things that have a profile in /etc/pam.d/ like login(1) or sshd(8) |
| 19:54.30 | greycat | actually, I might be wrong on that. |
| 19:54.55 | greycat | I think environment.d is only read by systemd, acting in a semi-PAM-compatible mode. |
| 19:55.27 | ScottPilgrim | greycat: that was the impression that I was working on, but I'll look into PAM a bit |
| 19:56.53 | greycat | the original /etc/environment is a PAM config file, so the fact that it's also used by systemd is for backward compatibility |
| 19:56.54 | greycat | in any case, every time I've looked at using environment or environment.d stuff, I've just thrown my hands up and given up, because it's utterly useless |
| 19:57.38 | ScottPilgrim | greycat: LoL thanks I am coming to that conclusion myself |
| 19:58.26 | ScottPilgrim | I might just fake it by sourcing these files from .profile or some such thing |
| 19:59.56 | greycat | I've done similar experiments in the past. I have a file ~/.config/environment.d/69-foo.conf which contains the single line FOO=$HOME/bar and guess what? It's not in my environment after logging in. Near as I can tell, environment.d is NEVER used when you log in. At all. It just LOOKS like it's supposed to be. Because the developers are cruel. |
| 20:00.35 | greycat | You might be able to achieve something with /etc/security/pam_env.conf which is *very* different. |

| 20:09.40 | greycat | Why they made their thing read /etc/environment is completely beyond my understanding. |
| 20:11.04 | ScottPilgrim | Makes me wonder what it is actually for. Maybe it merely sets up the environment for systemd itself, and doesn't pass on the results to the login session |
| 20:11.51 | greycat | APPLICABILITY says it sets up the environment for processes that are launched by systemd --user. Their example is gnome-terminal. I have never found a use for system --user, ever. I don't use it, and don't understand what it's intended to be used for. |

| 22:00.18 | urk | ok, I'm back. I can't remember who I was speaking with about 3 hours ago, but I have a problem installing the stable release of 10.7.0 Different from 10.8.0, I did not get an error mounting /, but this time get an error mounting the EFI partition which is the first partition on the drive. There is nothing installed in the EFI partition, and I set it aside for Windows. Any idea what is wrong? How to get around that error besides |
| 22:00.18 | urk | deleting the partition? |
| 22:02.18 | urk | I am on a Dell XPS 15 7590. This laptop came out just a few months after 10.8.0 stable release was released. Similar to the lack of hardware support, 10.7.0 also doesn't recognize my hardware, but that isn't a big issue since I can go to Dell's website to get the firmware. So far only the testing version of Debian 10.10.0 recognizes my hardware. |
| 22:03.39 | jmcnaught | urk: there is no Debian 10.10, testing will be Debian 11 when it is released. Your laptop was released after Debian 10.0, so it makes sense if some hardware is not supported out of the box. |
| 22:04.10 | sney | urk: you may have better results posting on the debian-boot mailing list if you're committed to doing this with the debian installer. |
| 22:05.10 | urk | jmcnaught> Any idea how to get around the mount error I am getting? |
| 22:05.10 | sney | urk: but also, the installer is really only ideal for normal/basic installations, for anything that gets into specialized/unusual setups like yours, you will likely have a better time installing manually with debootstrap |
| 22:05.11 | jmcnaught | urk: if I recall correctly you are using a complex partitioning scheme with separate /usr, /var, /tmp, etc. Have you attempted doing a simpler installation, possibly using the guided partitioning? |
| 22:06.07 | urk | jmcnaught> The guided partition scheme only offers choices for using the entire drive. This is why I ended up going with the manual, but I don't see how my partitioning scheme would affect anything from being mounted. The problems with 10.7.0 appear to be different than 10.8.0, but both involve mounting issues. |
| 22:06.47 | urk | sney> You mean installing from the net? |
| 22:07.33 | jmcnaught | urk: I am recommending trying it to see if it works, you don't necessarily have to stick with that install. |
| 22:08.08 | sney | urk: by "installing manually with debootstrap" I mean using debootstrap. it is the tool that the debian installer uses under the hood. your use case was most likely not tested by the installer team prior to buster's release, so this could be an edge case bug. |
| 22:08.52 | sney | but any time *I* have a weird system that the installer doesn't like, the choice between "spend hours fighting with d-i" and "just do it manually from a live env" is an easy one |

| 22:23.24 | sney | urk: well, step 1 is to boot with some kind of livecd that supports your network device and lets you connect to the internet. then you run debootstrap from that livecd. |
| 22:23.24 | jmcnaught | urk: I am referring to the "dd if=debian.iso of=/dev/sdc1" command that you used to prepare copy the ISO to USB. You copied to a partition, which is wrong because the ISO image is already partitioned. You need to copy to a device. |

| 22:26.19 | sney | urk: right, you're missing information that is in the links about debootstrap. support channels are here to supplement for people who are also reading the manual. "This section explains how to install Debian GNU/Linux from an existing Unix or Linux system." in your case, the 'existing linux system' should be a live environment where your network is up. it doesn't matter what it is. |
| 22:28.12 | urk | sney> I'm looking at the man page, and examples of debootstrap, but these all require an internet connection. |
| 22:28.52 | sney | urk: as I literally just told you, in your case, the 'existing linux system' should be a live environment where your network is up. |
