TeTeTkim0: I think the hotplug driver is responsible for that, but not 100% certain14:12

Hussaincan i get the ubuntu url for network vm installation?14:25
Error404NotFoundI am using AWS. I have setup 2 webservers and one NFS server. Both of the webservers are under and Elastic Load Balancer and autoscaled. Both mount a directory from the NFS Server. My problem? Due to autoscaling more instances will be fired, while the access list is defined statically inside NFS like 10.0.0.1/32, how can i counter that? I don't want to open access to whole 10.0.0.x or any subnet and due to autoscaling i ha14:37
Error404NotFoundve no way of know the IPs of newly started servers.14:37
Error404NotFoundWithout NFS dir being mounted the webserver started as part of autoscaling will not work14:38
flaccidum its a limitation of elb i think14:38
flaccidi.e. no security group group permissions14:38
flaccidthats more relevent to #aws14:39
Error404NotFoundhmmm, pasting it there.14:39

kim0erichammond: Hi o/23:11
kim0erichammond: Is the ec2-consistent-snapshot tool only supposed to be used inside the instance ?23:11
erichammondkim0: ec2-consistent-snapshot was originally written to be used on the instance as that is where you need to freeze the XFS file system.  I believe a community patch was submitted to let you you run it remotely with the freeze being done automatically over ssh, but it doesn't look like I applied it in the public version.23:40
kim0erichammond: aha .. I'm probably throwing a screencast demo'ing it soonish. Just wanted to check this is how it's supposed to work23:41
erichammondYep.23:45
erichammondIt basically adds XFS filesystem flushing and freezing and/or MySQL table flushing and locking on top of the standard EBS snapshot API call.23:45
kim0erichammond: cool tool :)23:46
erichammondIt doesn't have a lot of use if you aren't using XFS and/or MySQL.23:46
kim0yeah indeed .. I guess a LAMP setup is quite common .. and putting it on an ebs xfs vol makes a lot of sense23:46
erichammondIt started out very minimal, but ended up with a lot of error handling and retrying to catch various situations that come up in the real world.23:46
kim0Is that perl library still not packaged for natty ?23:47
kim0that final one to install from cpan23:47
erichammondNet::Amazon::EC2 ?23:47
kim0yeah23:47
erichammondI don't run natty, so don't know.23:47
kim0libnet-amazon-ec2-perl actually exists23:48
kim0for natty23:48
erichammondnice23:48
erichammondLet me know if it works.23:48
kim0the ppa builds for natty right23:48
erichammondHm, libnet-amazon-ec2-perl even exists on 10.04 Lucid.23:49
kim0sweet23:49
kim0add a dependency then :)23:49
erichammondI'll do some testing and update the ec2-consistent-snapshot package with a dependency and documentation.23:50
erichammondThat one step has tripped up a lot of people as installing CPAN packages can be tough for the uninitiated.23:50
kim0erichammond: will you do that today (since I'll play first thing in my morning)23:50
kim0will you be able to*23:51
kim0fingers dropping complete phrases ;)23:51
erichammondIf I did it, it would probably be late tonight my time (US/Pacific).23:54
erichammondkim0: Are you recording something or doing it live?23:54
kim0erichammond: recording a screencast yeah23:54
kim0if you do it tonight for you anytime .. I think I will catch it tomorrow morning .. leave me a line if you do23:55
kim0if it's not possible .. I can always wait23:55
kim0since as you say .. cpan kinda makes things not silk smooth23:56
