mbieblsuperm1: hi11:54
mbieblsuperm1: you wrote the upstart job for mysql?11:54
mbiebllooks like there is a race condition on shutdown11:58
mbieblmysql.conf has stop on runlevel [016]11:58
mbieblI have /var/lib/mysql on a separate partition11:59
mbiebland the rc.conf job is basically run at the same time on shutdown as the mysql.conf job12:01
mbieblas shutting down mysql takes quite a bit of time here, the umount scripts try to unmount /var/lib/mysql before mysqld is down12:01
mbieblthat leads to a correupted fs on every boot12:01
mbieblsuperm1: want a bug report for that?12:02
mbieblseems other jobs have the very same problem (dbus, rsyslog) but probably nobody noticed because stopping those jobs should be rather quick12:04

smoserok. so i'm writing a utility that stuffs a MBR in front of a partition image.  failing 'splice' from the kernel, i basically have to write the MBR, then append the data from the source to the destination.18:09
smoserit appears dd with 'conv=sparse' never happened http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-coreutils@gnu.org/msg11804.html18:09
smosercan anyone think of a way that i can keep the destination file sparse using utilities in ubuntu (ideally main)18:10

sladensmoser: suggestions are that cp /dev/fd/0 /dev/fd/1  or something18:19
sladensmoser: but I do really wish that they would accept the desire for conv=sparse18:20
ebrodersladen: You'd need some way to talk cp into opening /dev/fd/1 with O_APPEND18:20
sladenebroder: I ended up writing a tool18:21
sladenebroder: turned into this  http://blog.alex.org.uk/2010/12/02/copying-sparse-files/18:22

smosercjwatson, conv=notrunc works, but if it reads 1G worth of zeros , it will (i assumed) write 1G worth of zeros19:04
smoserrather than seeking.19:04
cjwatsonoh, I read your problem the wrong way round19:07
cjwatsonthought you were overwriting data at the start, not inserting19:07
cjwatsonis inserting really the right way to go about it?  perhaps reframe your design19:08
cjwatsonafter all the distance between the boot sector and the partition will not always be the same, probably19:08
smosercjwatson, i'm probably messing this up badly. but http://paste.ubuntu.com/541997/ is what i have.19:09
ScottKcjwatson: Would you please rescore the gtkglextmm build (only affects powerpc) - I think that's the blocker on getting python-visual built.19:09
smoseri've got process in place that builds partition images, i want to be able to produce disk images from those, and have those disk images boot in a full virt env19:10
ScottK(which in turn blocks boosts1.40 removal)19:10
ebrodersmoser: Does this need to work as not-root? If it can be root-only, will cp work if the destination is a block device? You could use kpartx to create a device-mapper object for the partition, and cp --sparse=always onto that19:12
smoseri just really dont want to be root.19:13

cdbsbarry: okay then19:34
barrycdbs: thanks19:35
cjwatsonScottK: done19:35
cjwatsonkirkland: it's in progress.  dpkg has a --force-unsafe-io option now, and there are other changes in progress.  I'll adjust the installer before natty to use that19:36
cjwatson(or something similar)19:36
cjwatsonkirkland: Debian is thoroughly on top of the issue at this point.19:36
kirklandcjwatson: okay thanks;  i'll set my preseeds to use ext3 for speed for now, and test ext4 once you get a fix committed19:37
ScottKThanks for the rescore on gtkglextmm.19:38
cdbsbarry: will file tomorror, thanks!19:39
cjwatsonkirkland: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=605009 in particular - finally got some proper attention from tytso, including a specific suggestion to use sync_file_range which will be implemented in the next dpkg release19:41
cjwatsonkirkland: so I'm holding off doing anything with --force-unsafe-io in the installer until I see whether that makes a difference19:41
kirklandcjwatson: okay, thanks;  i'm now subscribe to that debian report19:42
kirklandcjwatson: i'll monitor it there;  please poke my if and when you specifically want my testing feedback19:42

kirklandcjwatson: ack19:49
kirklandcjwatson: somewhat related to that ...19:50
kirkland<kirkland> cjwatson: so i have a preseed with "d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true"19:50
kirkland<kirkland> cjwatson: but I'm being held at that question anyway19:50
kirkland<kirkland> cjwatson: any hints?19:50
kirkland<kirkland> cjwatson: full preseed at http://pastebin.com/ME2CDpnx19:50
cjwatsonkirkland: I can help if and only if I see a DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer syslog19:52
kirklandcjwatson: okay, i'll get you one19:53
kirklandcjwatson: the only thing odd i see is that the root disk where the installation is taking place is registered as sdb (instead of sda) in the installer19:54
kirklandcjwatson: post install, it's sda in runtime19:54
kirklandcjwatson: and the installation proceeds just fine as sdb19:54
cjwatsonanything that that breaks is a bug in its own right19:54
kirklandcjwatson: okay19:54
kirklandcjwatson: i can't find anything else odd going on there19:54
kirklandcjwatson: i'm working around this for now with:19:55
kirkland-       preseed_file.write("d-i partman-auto/method string lvm\n")19:55
kirkland+       preseed_file.write("d-i partman-auto/method string regular\n")19:55
cjwatsonit's not worth speculating.  it's about a hundred times quicker to look at a debug log19:55
kirklandcjwatson: okay, i'll send another install through with that cmdline option19:55
jonohey all20:01
jonoI have a USB keyring running natty, but persistence is not working, can anyone recommend how I fix it20:02
jono?20:02
kirklandcjwatson: well darn;  not reproducing it today :-/  happened several times yesterday20:09
kirklandcjwatson: i'll keep the cmdline debug parameter on there though, and grab the syslog if it shows up again20:09
d-kesselbarry: considering python 2.7/natty - what do you guess when it will be safe to upgrade packages?20:10
barryd-kessel: you can upgrade packages now.  which one in particular are you thinking about?20:26

=== Elk is now known as vorian
ebroderjono: Honestly, if you have a spare USB key, running usb-creator on one key, then using that to do an actual install onto another key is going to be a truer testing environment. It will also get testing for things like the text-free boot changes20:42
ebroderI think I saw some discussion about expanding testdrive to install onto a USB key, which would remove the need for the spare20:42
ebroderjono: In the mean time, can you start by pastebining the syslinux/syslinux.cfg file on the USB drive?20:46
jonoebroder, I just talked with ev about this20:46
jonoI am not entirely sure what the issue is20:46
jonoand I have just wiped the stick to install it another way20:46

jonoas you have the outputs I pasted20:47
evjono: those all just show that it isn't a problem in usb-creator20:47

KeybukThe next time Lennart sarcastically suggests it only took him a year to write systemd, I'm going to reply that it only took me *two hours* to add socket activation to Upstart21:12
ebroderOooh, looks like fun21:13
Keybukhttps://code.launchpad.net/~scott/upstart/bridges21:14
Keybukadds an upstart-socket-bridge binary21:14
ebroderKeybuk: Yeah, I was skimming that and the session-support branches21:15
Keybukif you stick "start on socket PROTO=inet PORT=1234" in your job, the bridge makes a listening socket on port 1234 for you, and when it gets a connection, sends the event with the socket21:15
ebroderKeybuk: Uh, don't you need to deal with SOCK_DGRAM vs. SOCK_STREAM?21:19
Keybukebroder: sure, at some point :p21:19
Keybukthat'd be just adding an int type to the Socket structure21:19
Keybukdefaulting to SOCK_STREAM21:20
Keybukthen adding21:20
ebrodersocket(2) talks about AF_INET being a "domain", not a protocol21:20
KeybukSOCK=STreaM21:20
KeybukSOCK=DGRAM21:20
Keybuketc.21:20
Keybukyeah, I think I picked up "proto" from inetd21:20
ebroderSure, I agree it's easy, I'm just nitpicking your terminology before anybody commits to it21:20
Keybuknoted, shall check I'm using the right thing there21:20
ebroderKeybuk: What's the plan for dealing with "start on socket PROTO=unix PATH=/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket" having an implicit dependency on /var/run being mounted? Do you force the developer to make that explicit by adding an " and local-filesystems" or whatever?21:23
Keybukhmm21:23
Keybukthat'd need to be a depedency on the socket bridge for now21:23
KeybukI think the best thing is just to have the socket bridge started on virtual-filesystems21:23
Keybukso /var/run is always available for it21:23
Keybuk0.10 handles this stuff rather better21:24
Keybukbut we wanted to have it in 0.6 for fun21:24
ebroderI'm not familiar with the changes for 0.10. I'm guessing it rolls mountall into upstart and gives upstart stronger filesystem awareness?21:25
Keybuknah21:25
Keybukbut it does actually roll the socket listening into upstart itself21:25
Keybukwhere this is using a bridge21:25
ebroderHow does that help?21:26
Keybukbecause then upstart knows when it should be listening on the socket and when it shouldn't21:26
Keybuke.g.21:26
Keybukwhile apache21:26
Keybuklisten inet 8021:26
Keybukexec ...21:26
Keybuksays to only listen while apache is running21:26
Keybukand to only exec on connection21:26
ebroderOh, interesting21:26
