I would like to discuss about installing Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat. User during installation of the new btrfs file system use. This they must do a manual partitioning and btrfs not for / boot to be used. Furthermore, it should be mentioned that btrfs is far from stable. Use in production systems you should consider why more than good. For the initial partition uses Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat now the ext4 file system by default. While the import of the operating system tries to address the system an IP from a DHCP server to get. Since this is a server that would like one or the other users certainly use a fixed IP address. Unfortunately this is still not an easy GUI-based console on board, or the possibility that this be done on installation. The experienced Linux administrator will not disturb the further. It knows that he must edit the file / etc / network / interfaces. Here you will find this default entry:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
For a fixed IP address of these lines are to be replaced, for example, by the following:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.154.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.150.0
broadcast 192.168.150.255
gateway 192.168.150.1
Since the system is now no DNS server is automatically more, you can fixed the file / etc / resolv.conf deposit in.
Code:
NameServer <IP-address of DNS-Server>
NameServer <IP-address the second DNS-Server>
Since the DHCP client no longer needed, it should be removed from the system:
Code:
sudo apt-get remove dhcp3-client
To effectively make the changes, you could boot the system, or just the network service restart:
Code:
sudo / etc / init.d / networking restart
