[00:54] can I extend a pv in lvm? (ala resize2fs if it were just a normal partition)? [00:55] pvresize for the win === _LibertyZero is now known as LibertyZero === yofel_ is now known as yofel [16:35] Hi, I think I may have found a bug in the ubuntu kernel. Can someone tell me an easy way to install an upstream kernel to check? [16:35] Im an ordinary user I don't have special skills. [16:55] I'm hoping to find a ppa for the mainline kernel. [17:38] I just attached a kernel patch to finally fix bug #153768. Could anyone take a look and maybe apply it? It is pretty simple and straightforward. [17:38] Launchpad bug 153768 in udisks (Ubuntu) (and 4 other projects) "External SATA (eSATA) removable disk detected as system-internal (affects: 12) (dups: 4) (heat: 120)" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/153768 [17:40] psusi: Just parse ahci_port_cmd? [17:41] You're still depending on the BIOS to know that it's an external port, so this isn't a guarantee [17:41] mjg59, two problems with that: 1) udev doesn't do bitwise comparisons and 2) ahci_port_cmd is in the wrong part of the sysfs tree so udev can't see it [17:41] yep, it isn't guaranteed, but it's better than nothing [17:42] Its a property of the host, not of the device [17:42] that's the problem... the host device is not the parent of the device device [17:43] so udev doesn't see it as an attribute of the disk or its ancestry [17:43] Well, adding bitwise comparison support to udev sounds useful [17:43] this arrangement is totally broken according to kay [17:44] it does... but the arrangement also needs fixed [17:44] That also sounds worthwhile [17:44] Adding sysfs ABI in a distribution-specific patch doesn't sound like as good a plan [17:45] exactly [17:45] hence, this patch [17:45] ...which adds sysfs ABI [17:45] yea, but doesn't move a bunch around... just adds a new one [17:46] so no chance of breakage [17:46] Right. That's probably not a good thing to add in a distribution-specific patch. [17:46] why? [17:47] Because if it doesn't go upstream it'll have to be carried forever [17:48] well, yea... that's true of any patch [17:48] No, ones that don't create ABI can be dropped [17:49] so could this, if you don't mind re breaking esata auto mounting [17:49] * psusi scratches his head [17:49] No, even if this gets fixed properly you still can't drop the patch [17:50] Because you have no idea what else might be using that ABI [17:50] Users may depend on it [21:31] hey i have done everything I can to try to help out with reporting this bug is anything missing --- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/696164 [21:31] Launchpad bug 696164 in linux (Ubuntu) "HP Pavilion dv6 loses display permanently when lid is left closed (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New]
