[06:09] <fabbione> morning guys
[06:11] <braddr> good morning
[06:36] <fabbione> hey braddr 
[06:37] <fabbione> i just found why it is not possible to make raid install
[06:37] <fabbione> frigging annoying bug
[06:40] <braddr> is there a category of bugs that _isnt_ annoying?
[06:41] <fabbione> yes the one that are not down a stack of 5 layers
[06:41] <braddr> matter of degrees at that point.
[06:41] <fabbione> see all starts from a debconf menu in the installer that does not show RAID as an option
[06:42] <fabbione> get to find the code that generate that menu and see if it is buggy
[06:42] <fabbione> of course it's ok
=== braddr ponders on how to fix a bug in this configury logic.
[06:42] <fabbione> that code talk to a daemon via a socket
[06:42] <fabbione> so you check the socket
[06:42] <fabbione> then the dameon
[06:42] <fabbione> to figure it talks to a library
[06:42] <fabbione> you check that library and you find out that it has arch specific code
[06:43] <fabbione> where for sparc doesn't even know that raid exists
[06:43] <braddr> raid is good for killing bugs though, so it's all ok in the end.
[06:43] <fabbione> eheh
[06:43] <braddr> now, to figure out how to detect the end of the stack under solaris.
[06:43] <fabbione> the worst part is to test the fix
[06:43] <fabbione> getting from booting to that point in the installer takes about 15 minutes
[01:18] <braddr>   4:13am  up 11:40,  1 user,  load average: 744.77, 440.92, 193.26
[01:19] <braddr> maybe a tad too much parallelism?
[01:20] <braddr> $ ps  | wc -l ==> 3587
[01:23] <fabbione> not really..
[01:24] <fabbione> make -j4096 on a kenrel build will pump it more :)
[01:24] <fabbione> anyway.. installation on raid works now
[01:24] <fabbione> assuming safe definitions of RAID
[01:24] <braddr> good deal
[01:25] <braddr> the box is nearly completely unresponsive right now
[01:25] <fabbione> time for food now
[01:25] <braddr> sleep.. its 4:30am
[01:28] <fabbione> night
=== braddr yawns.
