Wow, just managed to fix a problem that has hounded me the last few days: after a reboot, one of my home servers (Ubuntu 24.04, 2 NVMEs with XFS filesystems) couldn't find its RAID 1 boot volume, claiming 'duplicate MD device names in conf file were found'. Gulp. Managed to find the solution here:

“mdadm: Duplicate MD device names in conf file where found."
Problem: When I boot my Ubuntu 16.04 (Server) box. I'm dropped to a Busybox V1.22.1 (initramfs) prompt I receive a message “mdadm: Duplicate MD device names in conf file where found.” Good to know

#Linux question: I would like to have a shared partition, on a #DualBoot between Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24, which would be encrypted but still useable (read & write) from both OSes.
It seems that one way to do this is via "Veracrypt" (see

Encrypt partition for use in Ubuntu + Windows
I have a machine with dual boot Windows 10 / Ubuntu 20.04. I would like to set up a new HDD (1 partition) dedicated for documents and other data - which I would like to have have encrypted, but

Ich habe heute meinen virtuellen Root-Server von Ubuntu 20.04 auf 22.04 aktualisiert. Ja ich weiß, dass ich spät dran bin:)
Blöd, wenn das do-release-upgrade mit einer Fehlermeldung abbricht, dass jammy.tar.gz nicht gefunden wird. Weil die IPv6 Webserver von ubuntu.com ein Problem haben. Mit den IPv4 Servern gehts. (/etc/hosts hilft) Argl!
Megablöd, wenn dann bei ca. 60% des Updates kein Platz mehr auf der Platte ist. Mega Argl!
Gut, dass es jetzt trotzdem läuft. \o/
