[15:54] <tjaalton> there's a strange'ish issue with the hardy kernel, that it confuses our netapp when using nfs4 mounts with kerberos. all the clients that use them get "remote io" errors. I've just sent an email to the nfsv4-list, but if anyone has seen something like this fixed in .25 or .26rc, I'd like to know :)
[15:54] <alex_joni> anyone uses software RAID with 8.04 ?
[16:49] <Ng> alex_joni: yup
[16:49] <Ng> lots of people I imagine :)
[16:50] <alex_joni> Ng: any good setup instructions?
[16:51] <Ng> alex_joni: if this is a fresh install, let the installer do the work for you :)
[16:54] <alex_joni> Ng: tried that.. but doesn't quite work
[16:54] <alex_joni> Ng: I have 3 x 500G hdds, and I want to set up RAID5..
[16:54] <alex_joni> I finally managed to make it build /dev/md0 (but then I can't set up 2 partitions for / and swap on it..)
[16:55] <alex_joni> installing only with /, fails when it tries to install grub (or lilo)
[16:56] <Ng> never done raid5 with software raid, only 0, 1 and combinations thereof, but I expect there are googleable tutorials for madm
[16:56] <Ng> mdadm
[16:57] <alex_joni> Ng: that's why I was asking .. found a couple, but not that usefull
[17:06] <alex_joni> hmm.. seems grub & lilo can't read RAID5 arrays
[17:42] <cocoa117> hello, question regarding to fdisk. How many partition can kernel see on amd64 Ubuntu Hardy? I currently trying to create total 17 partitions on my hard disk, because of LVM, after exceeding /dev/sda15, kernel won't see it anymore
[17:42] <cocoa117> is this normal? i am using Ubuntu hardy desktop amd64
[17:43] <mjg59> The SCSI layer only supports 15 partitions per device
[17:43] <cocoa117> ohhhh, that's why
[17:44] <cocoa117> nothing to do with kernel then
[17:45] <cocoa117> thanx mjg59
[17:46] <mjg59> The kernel SCSI layer, that is
[17:46] <mjg59> The kernel could be modified to allow more
[17:46] <cocoa117> yep, i am using /dev/sda as SATA driver
[17:47] <cocoa117> really? how and where?
[17:47] <mjg59> No clue off-hand
[17:47] <mjg59> But it's a code limitation, rather than anything fundamental
[17:47] <cocoa117> i c
[20:00] <arekm> anyone alive with knowledge about ubuntu git kernel trees?
[21:36] <BenC> arekm: Yes
[21:36] <pwnguin> fail
