problem with aptitude, soft raid

qrange · 11-03-2011, 11:20 AM

after moving / partition to software raid1, everything works fine apart from this error message from aptitude on update:

Code:

Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: /boot/initrd.img-3.0.0-1-amd64 has been altered.
update-initramfs: Cannot update. Override with -t option.

iirc, I had to update that initrd manually for soft raid1 to work.
is there a way to let aptitude update it without breaking raid?

thanks.

Hi qrange...

This is untested idea:
- First edit the /etc/initramfs-tools/modules file. Put the raid module name there. I guess it's "raid1"

- The do update-initramfs. As suggested by the warning message, maybe you have to use -t parameter.

Good luck...
