From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Boot into NVMe drives from USB (lemmy.ml)

Hi all, I've installed Debian in 2 (mdadm RAID 1 formtted with Btrfs) NVMe drives installed into 2 PCIe adapters. The motherboard doesn't support booting from those drives, so I've installed Debian into a USB stick (and it works) and I wanted to add into grub the RAID NVMe drives.

os-prober doesn't see the other Debian installation. fdisk -l shows the 2 nvme drives, but it doesn't see md0:

mdadm --detail --scan doesn't output anything. How do I solve this problem?

Cool, I've never hear about it, I'll test it first thing on Monday, thanks!
