[11:08] <Kurisutian> hey guys! I'm trying to install the latest natty-server beta2 release on a btrfs rootfs but this seems to be impossible. Is there anything known about that? Other fs are fine but I need to use btrfs because of some project we're doing here on university.... :-)

[11:46] <ev> this is quite the unfortunately large ubiquity upload
[11:46] <ev> I blame the PAE bug
[11:50] <davmor2> ev: you would anything to not have to work right?
[11:51] <ev> hahaha
[11:52] <ev> well, I just don't like large deltas this close to release
[11:52] <ev> I'm fine with lots of small ones
[11:52] <ev> but yes, I'd much rather be sitting on grass today
[11:52] <ev> maybe a bit later
[11:53] <davmor2> ev: millbank picnics all week I take it :)
[11:53] <ev> that's the plan!
[12:10] <CIA-7> ubiquity: evand * r4704 trunk/debian/changelog: releasing version 2.6.6
[12:42] <Kurisutian> cjwatson: Are you there? I'm looking for help to install ubuntu server on btrfs. Maybe I can also help getting rid of some bugs there.... :-)
[12:46] <genec> Kurisutian: I've been successful; just a minute
[12:47] <genec> Kurisutian: ok, so how are you installing and what is wrong?
[12:52] <genec> Kurisutian: atm, I have two btrfs bugs open already that have been targeted for final.  if you could explain your situation I might be able to offer some guidance
[15:16] <CIA-7> ubiquity: evand * r4705 trunk/ (debian/changelog ubiquity/plugins/ubi-partman.py): Fix missing import on the partitioning page.
[16:13] <CIA-7> ubiquity: evand * r4706 trunk/ (debian/changelog partman/finish.d/apt_clone_save): Repack debs in apt-clone.
[16:29] <Kurisutian> genec: I want to install ubuntu-server on a Dell PowerEdge 1950 with two SAS running on an hardware Raid-1. Partition looks like this: 1 Partition (btrfs) for / with 440GB and 1 Partition (swap) with 9.5GB. When I manually partition and set the mountpoints I get an error, that the system couldn't mount /home (which I never set and wanted) and the installer asks me to go back.... also manually mounting /dev/sda1 to /target to skip that
[16:29] <Kurisutian> step won't work sind the kernel then seems to drop an error within the brtfs module and the partition doesn't seem to be writable any longer
[16:43] <genec> Kurisutian: if you manually mount it, you'll probably notice two folders, "@" and "@home" which are the subvolumes on the btrfs
[16:49] <genec> Kurisutian: did you use the partitioner in the installer or another partitioner?  what boot CD did you use?
[16:50] <Kurisutian> genec: they are not there as far as I can tell.... I used the partitioner from the install CD of natty beta2 64bit
[16:50] <genec> Kurisutian: server CD?
[16:53] <Kurisutian> genec: Yes
[17:13] <Kurisutian> genec: Gotta go in about 10 Minutes... are you available tomorrow? I could get my laptop right next to the server to send you the exact error messages if that helps? When would you be available?
[17:14] <genec> Kurisutian: I should be.  I'm normally around after 11 AM UTC
[17:17] <Kurisutian> genec: OK, I'll see if I can get a hold on you.... thanks! Hopefully we can get rid of that bug.... or at least install somehow.... unfortunately I need to install on btrfs... on ext4 it works fine but as soon as I want to migrate to btrfs later I get the same weird behavior and the btrfs mounted disk is not writable and the kernel drops some errors in the btrfs module.... but I have no such problems on any other linux distro even
[17:17] <Kurisutian> when migrating from ext4 to btrfs....
[17:18] <genec> Kurisutian: wait, you're migrating ext4 -> btrfs not a fresh install on btrfs?
[17:20] <genec> Kurisutian: I know I've tested fresh installs (at least creating a fresh btrfs on an existing partition) but never migrations.
[17:21] <Kurisutian> genec: I first wanted to have the fresh install and it was impossible. Then I manually mounted a btrfs formated partition at the install which dropped the error messages on the btrfs kernel module (I think it was from there) and after that I thought I can migrate from ext4. Ext4 install worked but the migration ended in the same errors like the manual mount....
[17:22] <Kurisutian> gene: So I did check out all possiblilities on that except bootstrapping the installation which haven't had the time for.... ^^
[17:22] <genec> Kurisutian: so how did you try the fresh install and it failed?  manually partition using installer, use as btrfs at /, "format" and install grub to /dev/sda?
[17:24] <genec> Kurisutian: I know since just after -beta1 i386 desktop worked
[17:25] <Kurisutian> genec: exactly this is what I did
[17:25] <Kurisutian> genec: All combinations I could think of....
[17:26] <Kurisutian> genec: We got an 64bit machine here therefore I wanted to use the appropriated architecture for it also.... and like I said, it only messes up on btrfs..... installing on ext4 works fine. But we need to have the snapshots because we wanted to get rid of aufs or manually compile kernels all the time. With btrfs we can use the ubuntu kernel....
[17:29] <Kurisutian> genec: OK gotta go. I'll talk to you again tomorrow. Gotta train some students here and make them move.... ^^ Catch you tomorrow! BYE
[18:33] <kirkland> cjwatson: how/where can i set the no-cache apt option in d-i to avoid some annoyances with a local squid proxy?
[18:33] <kirkland> cjwatson: i swear i've done this before, but my log greps are not turning the magic up
[19:01] <cody-somerville> kirkland, I think you'd have to drop something into etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ to be sure every apt execution ran with no-cache option.
[19:01] <kirkland> cody-somerville: that's etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ in the installer's filesystem?
[19:02] <cody-somerville> yea. Then you could delete it at the end of the install to restore normal behavior.
[19:20] <kirkland> cody-somerville: k, thanks
[20:08] <genec> using that same CD, I can't reproduce Kurisutian's issue on my system...
