I'm using an Ubuntu live CD right now, but I have to run `sudo apt-get install openssh-server` on the workstation every time I boot (and as I mentioned, any console access on the machine is rather difficult), and then I have to run `ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no ubuntu@backup` from one of my workstations. Once or twice isn't all that bad, but more than that gets old in a hurry. > and lenny or later > allows you to setup a ssh server if you select expert mode. "Lenny" isn't really a good option. I'd much rather have a later kernel. By "Setup", do you mean install the OS, or enter recovery mode? I don't want to try to install the OS: that could be a disaster. BTW, the 2.6.32 kernel is moving the IDE disks all the way from /hda and /hdb to /sdj and /sdk. I think that's part of why it's breaking: the existing mdadm.conf doesn't scan that high. > If that's not complete enough then I believe http://www.sysresccd.org/ > is what you are after. Thanks. I may check it out if I don't get this working in a couple of more boot cycles. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
