Another way (and the one I'm taking) is staying on 16.04 until I get a new machine as a backup server. That should happen a lot sooner than CCISS being incorporated into 4.15+ or HPSA properly...

Yes and a pretty lame one at that. One would have expected a more professional approach from the kernel team than just "meh, it probably works".

Ok, for the future reference of others:

b) this is a cascade error ( the problem...

Soo.... judging by the silence, nobody frequenting these forums is backing up their server using Amanda?

On my NON-P800 (just normal SATA) personal HP server, I have 18.04 running as well. On that server I tried:



So they alias the cciss to hpsa -...

And a search with apt-file on 16.04 LTS shows that 16.04 LTS has the CCISS module in 4.13.0-39.

Fwiw:

I have a HP server which has a P800 SCSI controller. The CCISS kernel module is required to run the server.

On a server I have running 16.04 LTS, the module lives in...

For starters, the intel tool referenced is NOT to detect the Spectre/Meltdown flaws. It's to detect the Intel Management Engine flaw.

The Spectre/Meltdown detection script is here:...

Hi all,

This post is to summarize my findings on the issues I've had with my new DELL Precision 5820 tower.
