[14:01] <poelzi> is there a better, working doc then https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile ?
[14:02] <poelzi> i wanted to fix some config problems for all archs, and just don't get it how, where to change it
[14:02] <ogra> poelzi, see planet.ubuntu.com, there was a kernel build giude two days ago or so
[14:03] <poelzi> all these scripts... man. i'm happy just running vanilla ;-)
[14:12] <ohsix> is btrfs safe to use, for some definition of safe; if you're occasionally switching to new kernels, then back to the one for that version? (say, maverick vs. 37 and now 38)
[14:16] <poelzi> ogra: can't find it anymore :-/
[14:17] <poelzi> at least on my machine btrfs is broken with .37
[14:17] <poelzi> worked fine with .36
[14:18] <ohsix> good to know; was just curious about on disk formats and such, and a one way kernel boot :D
[14:22] <poelzi> i use it as a build partition where i don't care if it's lost
[14:22] <poelzi> i think the disk format is quite stable now
[14:22] <ohsix> cool
[14:23] <ohsix> xfs is not great in a laptop, so i'm looking at my options before a reinstall and just using ext*
[14:24] <ohsix> you can lose a whole AG if theres a temporary read error at an inopportune time; and theres only a handful so it turned out to be quite a bit of important stuff here :\
[14:27] <poelzi> yes. xfs i will never use again. it's on my blacklist now
[14:27] <ohsix> do you know offhand where i can look and see whats rolled into an initrd as far as fuse filesystems go? or know if its done by fstab entries or a white list
[14:28] <poelzi> a journalying fs that damages when power wents off is just broken like hell
[14:28] <poelzi> i now just use ext4 on my notebook
[14:31] <ohsix> never lost anything with the power; just did something stupud that was innocuous on other filesystems, didn't expect to lose 1/8th of all files, i thought the odds were on my side corrupting an inconsequential file (there are lots of those!) that i'd replace if debsums said so
[14:31] <ohsix> laptop drives are a harsh mistress though
[23:33] <xyclo> Hi, I want to install lowlatency kernel 2.6.37 on Ubuntu Studio 10.04. I found building instructions for Gentoo and in German. Anybody knows where I can get directions in english, or a pre-compiled one??
[23:39] <doctormo> xyclo: There should be a lowlatency kernel already available for Ubuntu Studio
[23:40] <xyclo> So I thought, but I cannot find anything newer than 2.6.32.24.25
[23:40] <xyclo> Should I settle for that one?
