Debian/Ubuntu: Update zfs-discuss links The old link was dead.
Debian/Ubuntu: Note that Internet is required The Root-on-ZFS HOWTOs require Internet access to download packages.
Ubuntu: Update installer links I've removed mentions of 64-bit when all images are 64-bit. I've changed "Live" to "Desktop" and "alternate" to "server" to match the image names. I have put the release names in parentheses and quotes. I updated the version in 16.04 to 16.04.5. I update 17.10 to old-releases.
Debian & Ubuntu: Fix the indentation on 64-bit Apparently we cannot use ** for a second-level indent.
Debian & Ubuntu: Harmonize the 64-bit text On all versions, this had a mistake, where "computer" was mentioned twice in a row. On Debian, 64-bit was "preferred"; compared to Ubuntu, this seemed to be a softening of it from a requirement (since it is in the System Requirements) section. It's also not really independent of the image; if you're going to use an amd64 Live CD, it is required. But the point of mentioning it is to discourage 32-bit. I have changed the wording to match the ZFS on Linux FAQ and to link to that entry.
Bring back old HOWTOs As discussed on the mailing list, the old HOWTOs can be useful for troubleshooting existing installs. This reverts commit c537bcf251f140e22166913e5dd6a0c0d407d9b2.
Ubuntu: Update for 18.04 release Now that 18.04 has been released, the instructions for it no longer need a disclaimer. As 18.04 is the latest release, we can drop 17.10. As 18.04 is the latest LTS, we can drop 16.04.
Ubuntu 16.04: Cleanup formatting on last commit This change cleans up the formatting from Jonathan Burns's patch to better match the overall style. I also added/updated the links.
added note for fix when grub doesnt detect zfs devs correctly
Ubuntu: Fix a symlink path ScottHaney reported in issue #6258 that GRUB had complaints about /dev/luks1, and using an absolute path for the symlink fixed that. I'm not entirely sure if this is necessary, but I don't see how the absolute path is any worse.
Drop the "partion 9" for root installs The original point of this partition had something to do with bootloaders on Sun systems (per Richard Elling). It is not necessary on Linux.
Ubuntu: Add instructions for mirroring GRUB
Debian/Ubuntu: Fix the troubleshooting link
Ubuntu: Fix creating sources.list In my fixes to improve nano support, I moved this step from inside the chroot to outside (before) the chroot. This means the path needs to start with /mnt.
Debian/Ubuntu: Eliminate an "ifconfig" I am trying to use "ip" consistently, since "ifconfig" is deprecated.
Debian/Ubuntu: Fix the partition clearing steps
Debian/Ubuntu: Improve the SSH instructions
Ubuntu: Drop mentions of @gmelikov I added this by accident, and I'm not sure that he wants to be mentioned for Ubuntu HOWTO issues.
Ubuntu: Fix 16.04 LUKS Like 16.10 (and the comment in the 16.04 code), this approach should use "initramfs", not "keyscript=/bin/cat". See also: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=820888 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=838001
Ubuntu: Clear existing partitions See issue #6090. Reported-by: Mahmoud Hashemi <[email protected]>
Ubuntu: Better support nano users This reorders the steps and adds an optional installation of `nano` to support users who wish to use `nano` instead of `vi`. See issue #6090. Reported-by: Mahmoud Hashemi <[email protected]>
Ubuntu: Fix step numbering
Ubuntu: Simplify the LANG variable The quotes shouldn't matter.
Update the 16.04 CD image URL
Ubuntu: Support LUKS This uses an unecrypted /boot, just like stock Ubuntu.
Ubuntu: Support full-disk LUKS This includes everything on ZFS, including /boot. This deviates from Ubuntu by prompting for the passphrase using GRUB, not the initrd.
HOWTOs: Lowercase and linkify "freenode"
HOWTOs: Direct support requests to zfs-discuss
Debian/Ubuntu: Remind people to specify -part1 This was requested by jwittlincohen in issue #5851.
