what a relief to anyone who experiments with xo-server: (smh) xo-server[1590]: 2024-04-14T12:10:53.644Z xo:mixins:hooks WARN start failure { xo-server[1590]: error: Error: Command failed with exit code 5: vgchange -an xo-server[1590]: Logical volume linvg/linroot contains a filesystem in use. xo-ser...

I'd love to boot my box from a $RECYCLE.BIN

this is great news! to see you being able to reproduce it on 12.4 - thank you! use case - it is questionable... at times I work a with many gz format tar archives - used to use pigz for mt zstd shows superb performance to size ratio compared to gz, plus the overlooking to add the -I or --use-compres...

in the meantime i have booted two more: 11.9 and 12 5 generate the lzma error if tar opts set to zstdmt ( compressor type unrelated - i guess /bin/false would work as a test as well ) two things all the systems have in common: all upgraded from at least one previous Debian release and all are config...

i tried a couple of livecd's - have not found a good candidate for an upgrade after boot in live... with exception of clonezilla :) but, well, i cannot reproduce the error (...) so i booted my older box - it is 11.9 / bullseye had the tar opts set to 'pigz' - i went ahead and exported 'zstdmt' did t...

aahhhh, i should make sure first i read it it right...

"To ensure consistent testing, I'll prepare a standardized dataset. I'm surprised to see the results differ."

thank you,
yes, i have modified the initial post yesterday ( crossed out install/reinstall ) and included in the new
please attempt to upgrade instead - just export TAR_OPTIONS in the running session. it is sufficient to reproduce without changes in /etc/profile.d

my guess is, next after the successful fetch the env is not set (or clean:) in the in the lzma subrocess?

Thank you for your response and suggestions fabien . I have modified the initial post: in installing and reinstalling cases i am unable to recreate the problem. at the same time, I cannot for certain exclude the install/reinstall being affected as well. To confirm I used a livecd on trixie/main. Aft...

this post is just to highlight this behavior of apt upgrade, or install if TAR_OPTIONS is set to a custom compression utility ( with a few exceptions ) apt fails to install /upgrade/ reinstall - it fails processing the tar part of a deb package: deb10 ~ # apt upgrade Reading package lists... Done Bu...

known bug - version 1.0.10 now in unstable:

thank you very much Mr. Smith

this is rather a workaround than a solution: running kernel <> all
it could be a pitfall for someone, an user that can potentially render a system non-bootable if the conditions are not met

ouch: /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf: =============== # # Configuration file for update-initramfs(8) # # # update_initramfs [ yes | all | no ] # # Default is yes # If set to all update-initramfs will update all initramfs # If set to no disables any update to initramfs beside kernel upgra...

the system booted using the previous version of the kernel. During the apt install of open-iscsi it does not update the initramfs of the running kernel, just the latest one - my guess is, that's an expected behavior(?) can it be configured to update the running kernel's initramfs as well? Thanks! de...

is running systemctl restart ifup@<interface> really a solution to this problem? I am have the same/similar issue as OP's - that's why decided not to open a new thread...

Hi, and thanks, It is not just pxe booting - it is pxe + nfs mount while still in initial ram fs stage. The latest Debian testing kernels do not seem to acquire IP via IP=dhcp in the kernel cmdline which allows to setup the networking piece before attempting to mount the nfs. At this moment I am not...
