Mixed results with the new Ubuntu so far.
At work, my desktop machine refused to install the latest kernel which left me with a broken system for a while, awesome!
At home, the upgrade when smoothly however I had issues with ZFS-Fuse. The filesystem refused to mount correctly. I’ve eventually isolated this to a problem with the drive order however I had specified ‘by-path’ to eliminate that problem? Further investigation reveals that drives on a SATA card appear to be swapping since the upgrade to Lucid, very odd…. sorted this now by mounting via id instead.
sudo zpool export tank
sudo zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id/ tank
Another issue seen is the lack of sleeping disk drives. The drives of the ZFS raid are supposed to pop into standby when idle for 15 mins… this then allows the machine to switch itself off at night when not in use. However for some reason that I have not yet identified they are not going sleepy-bye-byes.
I am able to manually put the western digital drive into slumber, but the samsung disks refuse and to make life interesting they give no reason why.
hdparm doesn’t appear to have changed? I am perplexed.
Haven’t dared to upgrade my vmware server box just yet, will give it another week or so
