[12:06] <daker> kim0, why you don't put the link of the portal on the topic ?
[12:15] <kim0> daker: hey .. yeah I can do that
[12:16] <daker> :D
[12:48] <kim0> Attaching a disk to an ec2 instance as /dev/sdh .. it actually appears as /dev/xvdh .. any idea why ? Is there any consistent renaming scheme?
[14:12] <TeTeT> kim0: I think the hotplug driver is responsible for that, but not 100% certain
[14:14] <flaccid> kim0: thats usually the xen kernel used. ubuntu has that modified iirc from the debian xen kernel
[14:14] <flaccid> something there is
[14:14] <flaccid> its xvda* in debian kernel
[14:25] <Hussain> can i get the ubuntu url for network vm installation?
[14:37] <Error404NotFound> I 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 ha
[14:37] <Error404NotFound> ve no way of know the IPs of newly started servers.
[14:38] <Error404NotFound> Without NFS dir being mounted the webserver started as part of autoscaling will not work
[14:38] <flaccid> um its a limitation of elb i think
[14:38] <flaccid> i.e. no security group group permissions
[14:39] <flaccid> thats more relevent to #aws
[14:39] <Error404NotFound> hmmm, pasting it there.
[21:11] <jmgalloway> does anyone know why a vm will not leave the pending state?
[21:12] <jmgalloway> nothing has changed on my uec cloud since yesterday...and now vm's will not go to the running state
[21:41] <jmgalloway> anyone know why my vm stays in a pending state?
[21:57] <RoAkSoAx> kirkland: ping
[21:58] <RoAkSoAx> ups
[21:58] <RoAkSoAx> wrong channel
[23:11] <kim0> erichammond: Hi o/
[23:11] <kim0> erichammond: Is the ec2-consistent-snapshot tool only supposed to be used inside the instance ?
[23:40] <erichammond> kim0: 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.
[23:41] <kim0> erichammond: aha .. I'm probably throwing a screencast demo'ing it soonish. Just wanted to check this is how it's supposed to work
[23:45] <erichammond> Yep.
[23:45] <erichammond> It basically adds XFS filesystem flushing and freezing and/or MySQL table flushing and locking on top of the standard EBS snapshot API call.
[23:46] <kim0> erichammond: cool tool :)
[23:46] <erichammond> It doesn't have a lot of use if you aren't using XFS and/or MySQL.
[23:46] <kim0> yeah indeed .. I guess a LAMP setup is quite common .. and putting it on an ebs xfs vol makes a lot of sense
[23:46] <erichammond> It 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.
[23:47] <kim0> Is that perl library still not packaged for natty ?
[23:47] <kim0> that final one to install from cpan
[23:47] <erichammond> Net::Amazon::EC2 ?
[23:47] <kim0> yeah
[23:47] <erichammond> I don't run natty, so don't know.
[23:48] <kim0> libnet-amazon-ec2-perl actually exists
[23:48] <kim0> for natty
[23:48] <erichammond> nice
[23:48] <erichammond> Let me know if it works.
[23:48] <kim0> the ppa builds for natty right
[23:49] <erichammond> Hm, libnet-amazon-ec2-perl even exists on 10.04 Lucid.
[23:49] <kim0> sweet
[23:49] <kim0> add a dependency then :)
[23:50] <erichammond> I'll do some testing and update the ec2-consistent-snapshot package with a dependency and documentation.
[23:50] <erichammond> That one step has tripped up a lot of people as installing CPAN packages can be tough for the uninitiated.
[23:50] <kim0> erichammond: will you do that today (since I'll play first thing in my morning)
[23:51] <kim0> will you be able to*
[23:51] <kim0> fingers dropping complete phrases ;)
[23:54] <erichammond> If I did it, it would probably be late tonight my time (US/Pacific).
[23:54] <erichammond> kim0: Are you recording something or doing it live?
[23:54] <kim0> erichammond: recording a screencast yeah
[23:55] <kim0> if you do it tonight for you anytime .. I think I will catch it tomorrow morning .. leave me a line if you do
[23:55] <kim0> if it's not possible .. I can always wait
[23:56] <kim0> since as you say .. cpan kinda makes things not silk smooth
