Bonjour,

Je suis très interressé par cet article mais ne comprend pas bien l'anglais. existe t'il une traduction fr quelque part.

Merci.

I have tried this patch in both versions of Ubuntu server 16.04 (32 and 64 bit) in a Virtual Box vm. I found that the 64 bit editions it's fine, but the 32 bit edition does not boot up. It stops with the message "cryptsetup: lvm is not available" Perhaps there is a way to solve this, but is far from my knowledge. Thanks for the patch.

Kind regards

Here's a quick tip for copying the partition table setup from one drive to the other:

(sda is source, sdb is destination)

sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk --force /dev/sdb

I found that on my system all cases when your rm-and-reinstall procedure failed to clear the file off the obsolete list was exactly because of what you suspected—some other package than the one given by dpkg -S had installed the file in the first place. So for the record, dpkg -W can tell you which package to look for:

dpkg-query -W '-f=${Package}\n${Conffiles}\n' | awk '/^[^ ]/{pkg=$1}/ obsolete$/{print pkg,$0}'

Often I forget to clean up things like /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key (or dsa) or similar pieces that should be. Maybe you can include those (and other) as well.

Thanks for your insightful post.

Recently I've discovered healthchecks.io, which is a free (and also FOSS) service that can check whether your mail server can deliver email.

The way it works: you configure a cron script on your server to send email to <uuid>@healtchecks.io, and if that email doesn't arrive for a set period (say, 24 hours, if you want one daily check), healtchecks.io will drop you a notification.

Well written, thanks.
