Syslinux/Extlinux chain : Unexpected change of Extlinux configuration folder after reboot
Hello,
We are experiencing a strange behaviour on an embedded system (i386 PC board).
The structure of our disk is the following one :
- A 2GB fat16 partition with DOS and syslinux
- A 100GB Ext4 partition with Extlinux an several linux images to boot on ram
- A swap partition
The system boot on syslinux to choose among Dos and Linux boot using chain.
When Linux is chosen, syslinux chains to

FWIW working on a new version that is `git am` ready, it will
have a "sign-off".

Recommendation for home NAS external JBOD
Hi,
my oi151 based home NAS is approaching a frightening "drive space" level. Right now the data volume is a 4*1TB Raid-Z1, 3 1/2" local disks individually connected to an 8 port LSI 6Gbit controller.
So I can either exchange the disks one by one with autoexpand, use 2-4 TB disks and be happy. This was my original approach. However I am totally unclear about the 512b vs 4Kb issue.

Building a NFS server with a mix of HDD and SSD (for caching)
Hi list,
I'm building a NFS server on top of CentOS 8.
It has 8 x 8 TB HDDs and 2 x 500GB SSDs.
The spinning drives are in a RAID-6 array. They are 4K sector size.
The SSDs are in RAID-1 array and with a 512bytes sector size.
I want to use the SSDs as a cache using dm-cache. So here what I've done
so far:
/dev/sdb ==> SSD raid1 array
/dev/sdd ==> spinning raid6 array

Question on 4k sectors
Hi. Is the problem with ZFS supporting 4k sectors or is the problem mixing
512 byte and 4k sector disks in one pool, or something else? I have seen
alot of discussion on the 4k issue but I haven''t understood what the actual
problem ZFS has with 4k sectors is. It''s getting harder and harder to find
large disks with 512 byte sectors so what should we do? TIA...

OT: AF 4k sector drives with 512 emulation
Still have good quality older sata hardware raid cards that require 512
bytes/sector. As far as I know HD manufacturers are not making native 512
bytes/sector drives any more.
Some have better 512e emulation than others. Looking for some advice on
which to avoid and which are recommended. Thanks. PS this is for a CentOS6
server.

Can't install program to another drive
I'm planning to remove Windows completely, but before I exercise this option, I want to be sure that I can install/run my needed programs under Linux using Wine. Granted I've been with Windows since the beginning, but after my experience with Vista, I have had enough. So, currently I have a dual boot setup for the moment, using Ubuntu 11.x/ Vista Ultimate (64bit). I have three hard disks,

VBR reencoding @128k problem
I did some further investigating into this issue and here's what I found:
It appears somewhere between ices0.1.0 and ices 0.2.0 is where the "bug" (for lack of a better term) was introduced that i'm noticing. When I compile ices0.2.0 w/lame 3.89beta, the VBR is *NOT* reencoded, but instead streamed out at full VBR bitrate(s). However, when using ices0.1.0 w/lame 3.89beta, it

I won't comment on the reasons why the original computation was wrong,

isohybrid and ISO images whose size is not a multiple of 2048 bytes vs. VirtualBox
Hi,
at [Tails] we're in the process of shipping hybrid ISO images by
default again. We're using `isohybrid -h 255 -s 63' to do that (thanks
to the advice we got on this mailing-list a few months ago!).
And then, we've discovered that sometimes, isohybrid produces ISO
images whose size is not a multiple of 2048 bytes.
Who cares? ... may you ask. Well, apparently, VirtualBox does:

Interaction with Windows bootloader
Good afternoon all! I have a project I'm working on that requires
Linux to be installed either to its own partition, or to the partition
of a host OS (Windows or Linux). One way works, the other way does
not...
Use Case 1:
In this scenario, Linux is installed to its *own* partition as is
syslinux (syslinux -i /path/to/syslinux/files). Afterwards, I 'dd'
the first 512bytes of that
