[01:46] <fabbione> hey tmarble 
[01:48] <tmarble> ciao fabbione!
[01:48] <tmarble> what's new in the world of LDOM's on my hardware --> running Linux?
[01:48] <fabbione> not much at the moment other than bug fixes
[01:48] <fabbione> they are queued in git.. not in archive yet
[01:48] <tmarble> did david have to tweak the kernel?
[01:48] <fabbione> yeah quite a bit
[01:49] <tmarble> oh wow
[01:49] <fabbione> he had to write a lot of new code to support LDOOM
[01:49] <fabbione> but the support is already in gutsy
[01:49] <fabbione> you should be able to install without any problem
[01:49] <fabbione> but still a bit buggy
[01:49] <tmarble> so if I understand it correctly, then I could have N instances of Ubuntu on T2000, for example, which are separate?
[01:50] <fabbione> I need to hunt down an OOPS and we need to fix some multiple ethernet interfaces problems
[01:50] <fabbione> yes that's correct
[01:50] <tmarble> was the tricky bit sharing physical interfaces through the hypervisor to each instance?
[01:50] <fabbione> you still need S10 to run the host
[01:50] <fabbione> but that will go away soon ;)
[01:51] <fabbione> no, that's done and working. The problem is that we are running out of virtual IRQ when adding more than 15 ethernets in the guest
[01:51] <fabbione> it's a corner case...
[01:51] <fabbione> normal stuff will work just fine
[01:51] <fabbione> i spotted several issues when overloading the guests with tons of disks and tons of ethernets
[01:51] <fabbione> this is the last "big" one left
[01:51] <fabbione> all the other stuff is simpler
[01:52] <tmarble> wow, man, hard to believe we are stuck with a DOS limitation on SPARC hardware running Linux!!!
[01:52] <fabbione> nah...
[01:52] <fabbione> it's just a bug
[01:52] <tmarble> just kidding !
[01:52] <fabbione> it works at the disk layer
[01:52] <fabbione> :P
[01:52] <fabbione> ehhe
[01:52] <fabbione> ok
