If you ever notice a device like that on your Linux system:
# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 8 MB, 8388608 bytes
8 heads, 32 sectors/track, 64 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 256 * 512 = 131072 bytes
Disk /dev/sda doesn’t contain a valid partition table
… then the scsi_debug kernel driver is present. To get rid of the device either unload [...]

Live-initramfs is a fork of Ubuntu’s casper for use within Debian. Nowadays several Debian based live systems are using live-initramfs to build an initramfs suited to boot live systems. Besides debian-live and all its users that’s at least Grml (and its derivates) and FAI.
I’m maintaining live-initramfs for Grml – so I know the limitations [...]

Now being an official Debian developer I’ve the possibility to use $DEBEMAIL=mika@debian.org for my Debian packages. But whereas I want to use that for all my official Debian packages I still want to use $DEBEMAIL=mika@grml.org for my grml related packages. I’m a lazy sysadmin and don’t want to manually adjust my changelogs depending on the [...]

With grub2 you can directly boot an (iso9660) ISO using its loopback option. This is great because it provides another nice rescue scenario – for example when using grml (the Debian based Linux Live-CD for sysadmins). You no longer need to extract kernel and initrd from the ISO to be able to boot it using [...]

Auf der Mailingliste der Linux-User-Group-Graz gab es die Frage, ob man sich darauf verlassen könne, dass die blocks-Einträge in /proc/partitions unter Linux immer eine Größe von 1024 Bytes haben, bzw. wie man das verifizieren kann. Nachdem die Mailingliste aktuell leider kein öffentliches Archiv hat, werfe ich meine Antwort zusätzlich auch hier ein:
Ok, zuerst schauen wir [...]
