Sadly post #34 did not work for me - server 12.04 clean install using LVM on small system disk; intending to use ZFS on further 4 disks. Staggering up the Linux learning curve; used vi to modify 00_header, and having found the 2 existing lines:
function recordfail { set recordfail=1 assumed that the first two lines of the fix: if [ "$quickboot" = 1 ]; then cat <<EOF should precede these 'recordfail' lines and the remainder of the fix follow them. I then ran update-grub and saw what I take to be an error message about grub-probe (the suggestion to type grub-probe - help didn't help) and the diskfilter writes message came up at the next reboot. Was that a false assumption? - what else might have happened - was pretty careful to avoid typos? Thanks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1274320 Title: Error: diskfilter writes are not supported To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/grub/+bug/1274320/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
