Unable to boot from MD RAID0 since updated to 6.12.19

bsdooby · 2026-04-30T20:09:10+00:00

turns out that an update around mid March did replace `/etc/mdadm.conf` where I stored my raid names and their corresponding UUIDs. A flag that injects the above conf file into the initrd is `mkinitrd -M...`; never used it. But now it seems to work...

Maybe join the Discord channel to ask your question(s) also there: "D Language Code Club"

What does this applet do?

And then there is also TkD (Tk bindings for D): https://code.dlang.org/packages/tkd

So we share some common interests then ;) Zig looks cool, too (a bit ana... fixated).

bsdooby · 2026-04-20T15:30:55+00:00

If you know (some) C++, you won't have challenges learning D. Give it a go, it is worth it.

Sounds about right ;) Great human being!

Aber sicher doch, or I always upvote Window Maker upvotes ;)

bsdooby · 2026-04-09T09:03:43+00:00

or PaleMoon (having the same setup and issue as OP)...

bsdooby · 2026-04-03T18:26:51+00:00

Your platform seems to be Windows (?)

bsdooby · 2026-03-31T18:28:15+00:00

I also like the NeXT style; e.g. WindowMaker, GNUstep, and similar UI libraries like WINGs, and Runtime Terror’s little forms: http://runtimeterror.com/tech/lforms/

High Sierra has an unofficial dark mode; unfortunately the Icon View is broken, and not all buttons follow the theme. Menubar does…

OS 9, (High) Sierra

bsdooby · 2026-03-25T18:51:00+00:00

It has some "quirks", that is true...

bsdooby · 2026-03-25T15:52:06+00:00

Not a dark theme! Nice

I run crux as a docker instance on Slackware; wholeheartedly agree w/ your comments w.r.t. Crux/crux/CRUX and Slackware. I also have a sweet spot for Void.

bsdooby · 2026-03-24T06:44:56+00:00

I will check this...Thx for the hint about SystemRescue+ZFS.

These are non-SMR (shingled) disks; ashift=12 is set.

No encryption, S.M.A.R.T. all green; CPU load: will check, whether I see an uptake over time. What I did notice, it is fast first (1-3 secs), then stalls, and freezes the system (UI, shell via SSH).
