| halvors | OpenTokix: Because it's overwriting my network config, and it's on a bare metal server. | 14:24 |
| papajo | hello everyone!!!! | 14:56 |
| mordof | hoping someone can shed some light on this for me: running ubuntu in AWS, mounted a drive created from a backup. both of these drives do not have a partition table, and yet ext4 seems to be functioning properly on them. I had thought a drive must have a partition table before a file system can be placed on it. so what's the deal there? how does | 16:15 |
| mordof | this work? is it a safe situation? | 16:15 |
| mordof | i ask here because i'm not sure if this is something specific to the way aws handles their drives, or if all drives are ok to behave like this | 16:15 |
| sarnold | you don't need a partition table for a filesystem | 16:17 |
| sdeziel | mordof: if you don't need a boot loader (like grub) to reside on the same drive, it's safe and it makes FS resizes easier | 16:19 |
| TJ- | mordof: you can have a file-system inside a regular file; partition tables are generally only needed for a bootable device | 16:19 |
| mordof | ooh. is this also true of windows drives? lol.. or more specifically.. is this special to a specific filesystem like ext4? or has this always been the case for everything | 16:20 |
| sdeziel | mordof: I don't know for Windows (but I think it creates a partition table by default) but on Linux any filesystem can run on direct drive | 16:21 |
| mordof | awesome, thanks for the details :) very much appreciated | 16:22 |
| sdeziel | np | 16:22 |
| patdk-lap | just make sure you don't EVER use something like openfiler that ASSUME all disks have a partition table, and writes one on them if they don't | 16:23 |
| mordof | oooh that's a good point, lol | 16:24 |
| patdk-lap | partition tables where invented so the bios could load the boot code | 16:24 |
| patdk-lap | know where that boot code is | 16:24 |
| rbasak | nacc: in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1753800, do you know why the tree fails to match? | 17:56 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1753800 in usd-importer "libffi fails to import, due to orphan tags" [Undecided,New] | 17:56 |
| nacc | rbasak: not yet | 17:57 |
| nacc | rbasak: but in theory, it can happen, i suppose | 17:57 |
| nacc | rbasak: i've not dug into it at all, i was just peeking at the bastion to see where it's at and saw our first failure (out of ~250 packages) | 17:58 |
| nacc | rbasak: i might provide you a very naive fix that needs some optimization, just to get the code out there for you to lok at | 17:58 |
| nacc | *look | 17:58 |
| rbasak | OK | 17:59 |
| nacc | naive in that it needs refactoring due to code duplication | 17:59 |
| rbasak | I'm not sure I'll get much time on it this week though | 17:59 |
| nacc | rbasak: understood | 18:00 |
| nacc | rbasak: have you landed your import_uanpplied_spi tests? | 18:01 |
| nacc | rbasak: https://code.launchpad.net/~nacc/usd-importer/+git/usd-importer/+merge/340869 | 18:14 |
| nacc | rbasak: fwiw, the libffi import failure appears to be due to not matching the debian version's tree, but i've not dug deeper | 18:16 |
| kyle__ | Is anyone else using 16.04 + hwe kernel + mdadm for root? Curious. I can't get grub to be happy with it | 18:32 |
| rbasak | nacc: not landed the tests yet. I have a branch that exercises it but to actually verify the result I need to finish my commit comparator, which got pre-empted by the test components you needed in that other bug. | 18:39 |
| rbasak | nacc: we could land it early and leave a bug open to remind us that it doesn't verify the result yet if that would be helful. | 18:39 |
| nacc | rbasak: can you just point me at an MP or the branch again? then I can use ita s areference for the tests i just mentioned in my MP (and the ones i need to write for a few other bugs) | 19:02 |
| rbasak | nacc: https://code.launchpad.net/~racb/usd-importer/+git/usd-importer/+ref/import-tests - still wip of course, not rebased recently. | 19:05 |
| nacc | rbasak: totally fine, just wanted to structure my tests the same way | 19:05 |
| nacc | rbasak: thanks! | 19:05 |
| nacc | rbasak: i'll rebase and add some basic verification and send you a MP :) | 19:37 |
| rbasak | nacc: thanks :) | 19:44 |
| nacc | rbasak: and i think i figured out how to create the pristine-tar on-demand | 19:46 |
| nacc | rbasak: https://code.launchpad.net/~nacc/usd-importer/+git/usd-importer/+merge/340874 | 20:55 |
| nacc | rbasak: i think that should be a priority to review this week, so we can land that infra | 20:56 |
| nacc | rbasak: it needs cleaning up, but does pass now | 20:56 |
| nacc | rbasak: and based upon that, https://code.launchpad.net/~nacc/usd-importer/+git/usd-importer/+merge/340876 which adds testcase 1 | 21:37 |
| hallyn | smoser: did you use to talk about a program that could make an ext2fs the way mksquashfs does? | 22:28 |
