MithrandirKeybuk: rewriting fstab for evms devices == not a good idea.04:39
Keybuk-v04:40
Kamionprobably similar to bug 5400204:42
MithrandirKeybuk: changing /dev/evms/* entries in fstab to UUID entries breaks stuff since the system then tries to access /dev/evms/.nodes/lvm/[...]  rather than /dev/evms/name04:43
Keybukis that a mount bug?04:44
Mithrandirfsck + mount at least.04:44
Keybukright, both use libblkid, no?04:45
Mithrandirlooks like fsck.ext3 does at least.04:45
Keybukso it could be a difference between libblkid and libvolume_id?04:45
Mithrandiror libvolume_id could have gotten the "cannot open" error and gone on its merry way.04:46
Keybukhmm?04:50
Mithrandir: tfheen@golem ~ > LANG=C sudo fsck.ext3 UUID=e956b7b4-6ebf-4bd4-98ac-ffa52eb2602804:53
Mithrandire2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)04:53
Mithrandirfsck.ext3: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/evms/.nodes/lvm/lvm0/home004:53
MithrandirFilesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?04:54
Mithrandirwell, I gotta run now.04:54
Keybukright, but why's it looking there?05:02
=== Keybuk doesn't know anything about any of the fabbione filesystems
Mithrandir"it" being?05:14
Keybukfsck.ext3, apparently05:15
KeybukI suspect this is a libblkid problem05:15
Mithrandirbecause the block device is exposed there too.05:15
Mithrandirquite possibly.05:15
Keybukit's not mapping UUID=* to evms volumes correctly05:15
Keybukwhat does /dev/disk/by-uuid/e956b7b4-6ebf-4bd4-98ac-ffa52eb26028 point to?05:16
Mithrandirwell, technically it's available with the .nodes/lvm name too, but that's just for internal consumption by evms, AIUI.05:16
Mithrandirunsure, the machine is on the other side of a firewall now.05:16
KamionKeybuk: oh, speaking of, has anyone mentioned this problem yet?05:17
Kamion$ sudo blkid -t UUID=424fb11b-b062-4c5b-83bc-6ffd84c17ae705:17
Kamion/dev/hda3: LABEL="debian" UUID="424fb11b-b062-4c5b-83bc-6ffd84c17ae7" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"05:17
Kamion/dev/evms/hda2: LABEL="debian" UUID="424fb11b-b062-4c5b-83bc-6ffd84c17ae7" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"05:17
Keybuknope, what's the problem there?05:19
KamionI have a feeling that that's deliberate on EVMS' part, although I'm not sure05:19
Kamionthe problem is that I don't use EVMS05:19
Kamion(although I have it installed)05:19
Kamionand apparently (ogra says) fresh reboots cause the /dev/evms/* one to be picked and mounted05:19
Keybukthey appear to be the same block device?05:20
Keybukwhat does /dev/disk/by-uuid/424fb11b-b062-4c5b-83bc-6ffd84c17ae7 point to?05:20
Kamion../../hda305:24
Kamionthey're not actually the same block device (3,3 vs. 253,1) although the underlying contents are probably the same05:25
Kamion(note, I haven't upgraded to new udev yet or rebooted since the fstab transition or anything; if you need that, talk to ogra)05:25
Keybukreally, we need someone who understands EVMS, LVM, software RAID, etc.  and is actually co-operative and willing to fix it themselves instead of just bitch all the time05:31
MithrandirI could conceivably do it, except I'm leaving for a couple of week of vacation from Friday.05:34
Keybuk*nods*05:37
Keybukmy general feeling with this stuff is that 95% of people haven't even noticed the conversion taking place05:37
Keybukso we're good to move on to the other boot loaders, and play with kernel modules05:37
Keybukand the silly exotic filesystems can be fixed after feature freeze :p05:37
Mithrandiryeah, in most cases it seems to have gone over fine.  I'm a bit worried about LVM + EVMS and other similar cases.05:37
Mithrandirevms isn't a filesystem. :-P05:37
Keybukntfs/fat/vfat is unhappy also05:38
Keybukthat's because vol_id supports uuid from those filesystems, so the conversion goes ahead05:38
Keybukbut blkid doesn't, so mount can't actually use them05:38
Mithrandirthat should be a SMOP to fix, shouldn't it?05:39
Keybukwhere P=Stealing the patch to make mount just use libvolume_id from SuSE05:39
Mithrandirwhy did udev NIH libblkid, really?05:40
KeybukI suspect the original vol_id author didn't know about blkid05:41
Keybukit's kinda hidden inside e2fsprogs05:41
Keybukand then got more people involved, so vol_id is sufficiently better than blkid that it's got used by udev05:41

fuocoi use dapper, and i need some new things found in newer kernels like 2.6.17. what is the best way to get that? manually compile my kernel, or cam i find a kernel image for these versions somewhere ?07:14
BenCfuoco: easiest way is to use edgy07:14
fuocoBenC: but i lose stability...07:15
BenCfuoco: them's the breaks...you lose stability if you compile your own kernel too :)07:15
BenCyou can always do a partial upgrade of just the kernel and its dependencies, which is pretty small07:16
fuocoBenC: true, but it's different if only my kernel is 'unstable' (2.6.17 not necessarily less stable than 2.6.15 + it fixes crashes for me)07:16
fuocoBenC: like take only the kernel from edgy ?07:17
BenCedit /etc/apt/sources.list, s/dapper/edgy/; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install linux-386 (or 686, or whatever kernel you use)07:17
fuocowhat if i just get a .deb from the kernels-daily url in the topic ?07:18
fuococan it not cause problems to mix parts from edgy and dapper ?07:19
BenCthe one in the url above wont installe07:20
BenCbecause it depends on things from edgy07:20
BenCand the small amount of things you have to upgrade for the kernel wont cause any instabilities that I know of07:20
cjbI'm doing the reverse, running edgy on a dapper kernel, and it's fine.07:21
BenCif you don't upgrade the things the kernel needs, you might not even boot07:21
cjb(The edgy kernel just kicks me to a blank screen, for some reason, and haven't had time to debug.)07:21
=== BenC is off to gamble
jbaileyBenC: =)07:24
jbaileyBenC: Practice, or is it tournament time already?07:24

rodarvusany hints on why this build failure happened? -> http://librarian.launchpad.net/3573913/buildlog_ubuntu-edgy-sparc.xorg-server_1%3A1.1.1-0ubuntu1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz09:36
rodarvus(just for reference) asm/kbio.h is not found. This file is included on sparc only09:36
zulrodarvus: might want to talk to fabbione, otherwise it was probably missed in the lkh transition stuff09:38
dokorodarvus: I already did ask :)09:38
crimsunright, probably needs prodding from the linux-source side so it can be included in l-k-h09:39
rodarvusdoko, heh, thanks :)09:39
