Greetings all; I just installed another sata controller and 4 1 T-byte Samsung SSD's.
The controller claims to be a 15 port port expander, but only 6 are bonded out, and collectively show up at ata7 in dmesg. They show up as /dev/sde/f/g/h but have not otherwise been touched. So I thought I'd make sure I was up to date, annd possibly install some raid-ish stuff to prepare this array for use as /home in the bullseye install, but something is ay least 5000% aglay. sudo apt update says it wants to gut much of the system and upgrade 2588 packages. Yet my repo list looks like its normal stretch. What is going on? Do I wind up on buster or should I kiss it all goodbye? Thanks.
