[00:01] <patrickw> Or perhaps some thoughts on the best way to mount NFS directories on a node that may be rebundled arbitrarily with euca-bundle-vol?
[16:20] <smoser> if anyone wanted to read and tell me what i'm doing wrong, i'd much appreciate it

[19:58] <patrickw> euca-run-instances question: does --user-data-file run before or after rc.local or is the sequence undefined?
[20:15] <smoser> patrickw, "it depends"
[20:15] <smoser> its supposed to be rc.local like
[20:15] <smoser> but there is no defined dependnecies on the two
[20:17] <patrickw> smoser:  ok, thanks.  btw, is there a well defined way to have a "first boot" script in the instance image (not injected, it would exist in the filesystem), or would I have to do something like that by hand?
[20:18] <smoser> if you put it in /var/lib/cloud/data/scripts it will run on first instance boot
[20:19] <patrickw> awesome, thanks
[20:20] <patrickw> about when in the init?  :)
[20:21] <smoser> rc.local
[20:22] <smoser> thats how the #! end up getting executed
[21:07] <jmgalloway> I have a problem with my cloud setup
[21:08] <jmgalloway> I am not able to access my vm's from a public IP address through my nat router
[21:10] <Nolar> from a public IP through NAT?
[21:10] <jmgalloway> yes
[21:10] <Nolar> not sure i follow
[21:11] <Nolar> cant access ec2 instance from a machine inside your network?
[21:11] <jmgalloway> port forwarding through the nat should allow me to access my vm on a specific port using my wan address
[21:11] <jmgalloway> I can access them from within my network
[21:12] <Nolar> so, servers are inside your nat?  and you're connecting from outside your nat?
[21:12] <Nolar> or trying to connect from inside your nat via the nat's public ip?
[21:12] <jmgalloway> that's what I would like to do
[21:12] <Nolar> aka 'hairpin' routing?
[21:12] <jmgalloway> no, internally I use private addresses only
[21:13] <jmgalloway> hairpin?
[21:13] <Nolar> google 'hairpin routing'
[21:13] <jmgalloway> would that be my problem?
[21:13] <Nolar> basically means you access an internal service via the nat's external ip
[21:13] <Nolar> ..while inside the nat
[21:13] <Nolar> possibly
[21:13] <jmgalloway> ok, I see.  I've been trying to do that. yes
[21:14] <jmgalloway> I am on a client device trying to access vm's through using my external ip..I have a private ip address
[21:14] <Nolar> ya, sounds like it
[21:15] <Nolar> need to see if your router can support that
[21:15] <jmgalloway> I will check, do you know off hand if a wrt54gl running dd-wrt v24 supports that?
[21:16] <Nolar> from what i know of ddwrt, i'd say yes
[21:16] <Nolar> http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=37313 ?
[21:17] <Nolar> "nat loopback" sounds like
[21:17] <Nolar> Go to the Security/Firewall area in DD-WRT. Uncheck the Filter WAN NAT Redirection box. Click apply.
[21:17] <Nolar> maybe as simple as that :)
[21:29] <jmgalloway> ok thanks
[21:29] <jmgalloway> I'll give that a try
[23:04] <jmgalloway> where does the disk space come from when you select a vm size?
