[03:46] <MzR_Massey> Good evening, I have a question about mounting 2 sata drives to my dedicated linux server running ubuntu 16.04.7 - I've seen trying to edit the /etc/fstab file.  I have that file open in notepad++, with the command line logged in as root.
[03:49] <MzR_Massey> though, I'm unsure how to find the information needed to make the drives load on reboot  etc.

[08:33] <jamespage> coreycb: started the MIR review of python-invoke only to realise its an optional Recommends
[08:33] <jamespage> uploaded a ubuntu delta to demote to a suggests
[08:34] <jamespage> invoke needs more work prior to main inclusion (and has secondary missing depends)
[12:01] <coreycb> jamespage: ok thanks
[13:21] <coreycb> icey: all of your new victoria dependency updates are uploaded now, thanks!
[13:22] <icey> woot \o/ progress for next week ;-)
[13:26] <geodb27> People hi ! Does ubuntu 20.04 suport preseed files as 18.04 did ?
[13:26] <geodb27> I've build a custom iso with a preseed file on my own, but it's content don't seem to be taken into account...
[13:36] <rbasak> geodb27: you need the legacy image for that: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-legacy-server/releases/20.04.1/release/
[13:37] <rbasak> geodb27: new autoinstall system here: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall-quickstart
[13:38] <rbasak> If you use the legacy preseeds, then please test and provide feedback on the new installer - otherwise you might find your use cases dropped when the legacy image is dropped
[13:38] <geodb27> Thanks a lot rbasak ! I'll dig it right now !
[13:45] <geodb27> From what I quickly read from the second link you gave me, rbasak, the automated install is controlled via cloud-init. I know only few about it. Is there still a way to provide seeds as before ?
[13:47] <rbasak> No. What does it matter what component implements the automation?
[13:48] <rbasak> You tell it what you want - syntax at https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall-reference
[13:48] <rbasak> You don't need to know anything about cloud-init to use it.
[19:20] <c4264035> So I have inherited some old ubuntu servers that I need to update. No real backup on them as of now. You guys have a favorite backup strategy? Beorg looks pretty good
[19:54] <oerheks> c4264035, rsync
[20:19] <c4264035> Do you not worry about deduplication?
[20:24] <oerheks> no. storage space is not expensive.
[20:24] <oerheks> one copy is not enough, nowadays
[20:28] <sdeziel> c4264035: btrfs send or zfs send work too
[21:17] <RoyK> oerheks: it never was
[21:29] <gimzmoe> Woet: to answer your question, the messages are pretty redudnant, "
[21:29] <gimzmoe> Message from syslogd@localhost at..." most of them related to sshd, invlid user or unauthenitcated
[21:29] <Woet> gimzmoe: you can check syslog.conf, https://serverfault.com/questions/392299/syslog-written-on-console
[21:29] <gimzmoe> I'm getting a lot of love from China and Netherlands at the moment, but it seems that I might have accidently hit "mesg y" to toggle the messages
[21:33] <gimzmoe> more likely I ham-fisted something like that than changing the syslog configuration
[21:34] <Woet> true
[21:36] <tomreyn> your kernel version suggests you're on an ubuntu release where you can just purge syslogd because it is mostly redundant with the systemd-journal - unless you explicitly need syslogd for filtering, or remote logging.
[21:36] <tomreyn> or rsyslog rather, i guess
[21:37] <gimzmoe> no nothing special, these are essentially experiment servers
[21:37] <tomreyn> this said, it always helps to state what you're using when looking for support (and i don't think you did, yet). your ubuntu version is reported by    lsb_relese -ds
[21:37] <gimzmoe> I don't even mind the botnet, I find the parade of IPs interesting
[21:38] <tomreyn> *    lsb_release -ds
[21:38] <gimzmoe> Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
[21:41] <gimzmoe> I appreciate the time, I think the `mesg n/y` + an id10t error on my part might have been the culprit
[21:43] <tomreyn> solved! :)
[21:45] <gimzmoe> thanks!
[21:46] <tomreyn> you're welcome!
