Protip of the night: If your Debian encrypted root device changes from "vda" to "sda" REMEMBER TO UPDATE /etc/crypttab AND RUN update-initramfs YOU FOOL Protip of the night: If your Debian encrypted root device changes from "vda" to "sda" REMEMBER TO UPDATE /etc/crypttab AND RUN update-initramfs YOU FOOL (might be a double-send, IRC slow to come back) i wish the initramfs had more of a rescue system it seems it'd make so many things easier and even if there was a 256mb rescue system easily attached that didn't need to be updated for every kernel it'd make things easier I booted the Debian ISO and used its rescue mode to get things going at least. Pity it took me 2 tries though yeah, extra step though is the sda working better than the vda was? Or I could have just made the change before I shutdown :P mercutio: way too soon to tell ah !uptime host oh see BryceBot isn't even running yet... heh well i see brycebot Oh, wait that's on me @uptime host host uptime: 0 days, 0 hours, 19 minutes, and 46.11 seconds. but is it a proxy? mercutio: BryceBot sints behind znc, yeah .11 seconds, hah Well /proc/uptime gives accuracy :p ah, crypttab. the mistakes sting. Really though the lesson would be to reference the partition by UUID instead of device name, like fstab has for ages Oh, wait, it does but failed for other reasons. i dunno why virtio uses vda rather than sda in the first place ahci uses sda err vitio-blk Greetings Earthlings*
