I have XPenology (6.1.4 update 5) booting from a USB drive, but I also have a separate HDD running Windows 10 on that same machine. I also would like to add an Ubuntu instance to be able to run file system repairs should I ever need to.
I was wondering if I can combine the 3 options to a single disk (with a boot menu of course)? So upon boot get the possibility to select Jun's boot loader or run Ubuntu or run Windows 10. If yes, can you indicate how I can do that ? In terms of partitioning the disk carrying all this and getting the menu available ...
Additionally... it would be really nice if I could do all that remotely (headless). So selecting the boot option remotely from another pc, allowing the machine to become completely headless. But is this possible ?
PS: The windows 10 allows me to run HDD checking and reparing tools remotely, but I assume that's equally possible using Ubuntu ? I'm using SEATOOLS (from Seagate).
