davinci11TeTeT : Hi TeTeT, when i try to attach /dev/vdc again,  it doesnt appear in /dev, what wrong ?08:46
TeTeTdavinci11: does it appear with fdisk -l?08:47
TeTeTdavinci11: and what command do you use to attach?08:47
davinci11TeTeT: no08:47
davinci11TeTeT $ euca-attach-volume $vol -i <INSTANCEID> -d /dev/sdb08:48
TeTeTdavinci11: there comes something to my mind - if the device is now called /dev/vdb, the complete ebs based instance stuff might not work, as the loader emi expects sdb08:49
TeTeTdavinci11: attach command looks good to me, you sure it's not on the instance? does euca-describe-volumes say it is attached?08:49
davinci11TeTeT: in hybridfox show attached08:51
davinci11TeTeT: VOLUMEvol-596C061F 1cluster1in-use2011-08-03T07:37:09.288Z08:56
davinci11ATTACHMENTvol-596C061Fi-3565075E/dev/vdc2011-08-03T08:41:28.731Z08:56
TeTeTdavinci11: so looks good, what's on the instance to see?09:01
TeTeTdavinci11: or is this the final instance with ebs attached? Then I fear it will not work due to sdb vs vdc :(09:06
davinci11TeTeT: step6  echo “1,,L,*” | sudo sfdisk /dev/vdc09:06
TeTeTdavinci11: ah, you're still preparing the volume?09:07

TeTeTdavinci11: oerks, what about paste bin?09:09
TeTeTdavinci11: also this is not from an instance, it's from your client system09:09
davinci11paste bin ?09:09
TeTeTdavinci11: no offense, but for getting anywhere with UEC you need to learn some basics first, I fear. Maybe visit a class on Linux/Unix shell and command line usage09:10
TeTeTdavinci11: pastebin.ubuntu.com, you can copy'n'paste large volumes of text there09:10
TeTeTdavinci11: so you don't spam the channel like above09:10
davinci11TeTeT: so the output ok? but yesterday when i attached /dev/vdc. it show when fdisk -l09:15
TeTeTdavinci11: output is from your client system, not the instance. you need to ssh to the instance and check there09:16
davinci11TeTeT: but the same output from local machine (cc) when fdsik -l09:16
davinci11exit09:17
davinci11sorry wrong typing09:17
TeTeTdavinci11: no idea what you're referring too right now09:17
davinci11TeTeT: same output from CC / using ssh from remote pc still get the same output09:21
TeTeTdavinci11: no idea, I'm beat then09:21
davinci11TeTeT: Lol, i missed 1 step SSH :P can get in there and now can see /dev/vdi this time09:32
TeTeTdavinci11: still you have the vdx vs sdx problem for the loader emi - no idea how to fix that09:33

smoserjamespage, ping12:14
jamespagehey smoser12:14
smoserhave you, or can you, start full test of images ?12:14
jamespageI have not but I can12:15
smoserjamespage, Daviey, any one else, know of a reason that we should not test 20110802.2 ?12:16
smoserhearing none, jamespage go ahead.12:18
jamespagesmoser: ack - I'll run a small cross region test first12:19
jamespageand then kickoff the big one12:19
smoserk12:19
Davieysmoser: that is our candidate.13:17
jamespageDaviey: good job - I just tested it!13:22
jamespagelooks 99.95% good to me13:22
Daviey5% is the "it doesn't boot"?13:27
Davieyjamespage:13:27
jamespagenope13:27
jamespageone test failed on the cloud-config tests - failed to mount ephemeral013:28
jamespagebut failed consistently for all instances of this test13:28
Davieyjamespage: do you test cluster compute?13:28
jamespageah-ha - no13:28
jamespagesmoser normally runs that sep.13:28
Davieyexpecting https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/791850 to still be valid13:28
uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 791850 in linux "oneiric cluster compute instances do not boot" [High,Triaged]13:28
smoserjamespage, oh yeah, we're still seeing bug 78493713:34
uvirtbotLaunchpad bug 784937 in linux "/mnt not mounted, swap not used, disk is xvde" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/78493713:34
smoseri recently fixed a t1.micro issue where the entry was written to /mnt13:35
jamespagedisk is definately xdve still13:37
jamespagehttp://paste.ubuntu.com/657935/13:37
smoserjamespage, right.13:39
jamespagethat was it tho13:40
jamespageall other tests passed13:40
DavieySo three failures?13:48
* Daviey needs to prepare the release notes.13:48
gtaylorerichammond: Have you ever compared the performance of the Alestic Ubuntu AMIs to Amazon's Fedora-based golden child?14:40
=== daker is now known as daker_
=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
erichammondgtaylor: To be clear, the recent Ubuntu AMIs listed at the top of http://alestic.com are published by Canonical, not by me.18:35
erichammondgtaylor: Comparing performance for real world applications is difficult and I have not done it.18:35
gtaylorerichammond: Ah,I was wrongly assuming that Canonical was using Alestic AMIs.18:37
gtaylorerichammond: Well, another side question. Have you had any luck getting an EC2 instance running on 2.6.39+ with the newly merged built-in Xen support?18:38
erichammondI did publish Ubuntu AMIs for two years, and apparently did a ridiculously good job branding them :)18:38
gtaylorerichammond: Yeah, your Google page ranks are still sky high18:39
gtaylorand a lot of people still reference Alestic AMIs18:39
erichammondFor a while, I kept getting people who meet me say "Eric Hammond is a really familiar name."  I pointed out that they saw it every time they logged in to one of the Ubuntu instances on EC2 (back then).18:39
erichammondI expect Google to continue liking me as I still publish unique and relevant content to the subject matter being searched.18:40
gtaylorYeah, your blog posts are interesting to see for perspective18:41
erichammondgtaylor: I don't know what you're talking about with the Xen question, but I've been using stock Ubuntu AMIs from Canonical.18:41
gtaylorerichammond: We're in a weird dead period right now. 2.6.39 no longer requires external modules for domU support (which was one of the reasons why there are specific EC2 kernels being distributed). If I understand correctly, the next releases of many distros that use 2.6.39+ can ship a much more generic kernel that can be dist-upgraded like bare metal or more tolerant VM hosts.18:43
gtaylorBut almost all AMIs I see run 2.6.35 or so with the kernel either pinned or pointed at an EC2-specific package name.18:44
gtaylorIIRC, canonical uses linux-virtual or something.18:44
erichammondgtaylor: I see. I let other folks worry about that kind of thing now and I just focus at a higher level :)  You could ask smoser and the gang over on #ubuntu-cloud18:45
erichammondIt's almost noon, so I should head off to work...18:45
gtaylorerichammond: OK, thanks18:45
erichammondoh, we're on #ubuntu-cloud :-)18:45
gtaylorteehee18:46
gtaylorsmoser: ^^18:46
erichammond(Usually when somebody addresses me directly it's over on ##aws)18:46
gtaylorahh18:46
erichammondlater18:47
smosergtaylor, all ubuntu amis should "just work" for upgrades18:48
smoserin 10.04, we used the '-ec2' kernel flavour.18:48
smoserin 10.10 and beyond, we use '-virtual'18:48
smoserbut, mostly '-server' would have "just worked" also.18:48
gtaylorsmoser: Is it safe to dist-upgrade to new distro releases on EC2? I assumed it would be for Ubuntu, at least.18:49
smoserdist-upgrade meaning 'apt-get dist-upgrade' ? right?18:50
smoser(versus 'do-release-upgrade', which brings you from 10.04 to 10.10)18:51
gtaylorwell, maybe I do mean do-release-upgrade18:51
smoserit should work.18:51
gtaylorsmoser: Well that's good to know, thanks18:52
smoserboth should work.18:53
smosergtaylor, if you're using instance-store, you have reason to be more worried. :)18:53
smoserbut ebs can be recoverred more easily18:53
gtaylorsmoser: Nope, we're using EBS18:53
gtaylorsmoser: though, I have reasons to worry about EBS, too :)18:53
gtaylor(ala, the great outage)18:53
smoserthis is true.18:54
smosergtaylor, so yes, i' would suggest doing a do-release-upgrade from within a screen session18:54
gtayloryeah, that sounds like a good idea18:54
smoserjamespage, you have link to test results ?18:56
smoserdid you run the big test?18:56
gtaylorsmoser: Do you have any DB servers deployed on EC2?18:57
smoseri do not.18:57
