Hi guys,
I found a bug in Busybox 1.20.2 (Debian 1:1.20.0-7), but before I report
it, I want to make sure it's not a dup of #367605
(https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/linux.debian.bugs.dist/busybox$20loop/linux.debian.bugs.dist/fT4wUlqfCV4/d920VARKhCwJ).
It seems very similar

I can confirm that by adding loop.ko to the initrd, the problem goes
away. Loop mounting images is working, and you can continue normal
installation without having to

Hello together,
it seems you are all thinking way too complicated. As I suggested in the
other thread, I'm just gonna post a little howto.
So, here it goes:
1. Booting from USB flash, USB hard drive, or internal hd, is basically
all the same. You first need to install grub2 on it. If you already
Oh, one more thing:

Well, I tried to accommodate different use cases, so I would only have
to post it once. By far the most of it is just the explanation what you
are doing and why.
Try to understand it and learn
Hey Brian,

In that case you need an initrd with the loop module added, I tried to
keep this as simple as possible.

Hi everyone!
I have smartd running on my jessie server, to keep an eye on my raid
disks.
One of them has a few pending sectors, but nothing major and I don't
want to replace it yet. Problem is, every 30 min the following message
gets dumped all over my open terminals (ssh as well as local, basica
Hi Richard!
First of all, sorry, no pictures.
An easy solution, without trying to achieve what you want on a low
level, is to use a screen magnifier such as xzoom.
1. Install the package "xzoom" (sudo apt-get install xzoom) or use the
package manager of your choice.
2. Open mate-display-propertie
EDIT:
On a closer look, kmag seems much more intuitive than xzoom.
The other instructions still work, just replace xzoom with kmag.
In step 9, click the "Mouse" button in kmag's toolbar, to make it follow
your mouse cursor.
Does that work for you?
Best,
Julian
