[12:52] <blindcoder> sounds fine
[12:52] <th> okay
[12:52] <netrunner> what means earlystages? why not just skip it?
[12:54] <blindcoder> netrunner: initial ramdisk? initial ramfs? every heard?

[14:10] <netrunner> blindcoder: I know what is a ramdisk. but what means early stage? like stage <3?
[14:11] <netrunner> i.e. build stage?
[14:12] <blindcoder> netrunner: no, not ROCK stage
[14:12] <blindcoder> netrunner: boot stage
[14:12] <blindcoder> netrunner: bootloader -> kernel -> early boot stage (initrd/initramfs) -> real root -> init
[14:16] <netrunner> so what is the late boot stage?
[14:16] <th> the one running init
[14:17] <netrunner> aha.
[14:17] <th> handling runlevels and such
[14:17] <netrunner> does initrd break swsusp btw?
[14:17] <th> propably
[14:17] <th> but i dont know much aboutit
[14:18] <th> it would be good to trigger sw-unsuspend by userland
[14:18] <th> so it's possible to do so in early stage
[14:18] <netrunner> I just noticed that on my old x40, whith the ide driver on the initrd, he never resumes from hibernation.
[14:19] <blindcoder> IIRC swsusp is handled by kernel parameters (resume at least)
[14:19] <th> yes
[14:19] <blindcoder> so unless you do funny things to your swap, you should be fine
[14:19] <th> well
[14:19] <th> swap on lvm
[14:20] <blindcoder> kernelexec?
[14:20] <blindcoder> or kexec it's called I think
[14:21] <th> well and how does the lvm-swap become real swap in the new kernel?
[14:24] <netrunner> blindcoder: the kernel resumes from the swap on hdd on ide. so it needs to know how to talk to ide. if that is a module on initrd ... 
[14:25] <th> netrunner: swsusp only works from ide???
[14:26] <th> or from scsi as well?
[14:26] <netrunner> th: no. but the kernel needs the driver 
[14:26] <th> ok
[14:26] <th> so as soon as you need some userland-initialization to get your swap.. your hosed
[14:26] <netrunner> th: e.g. swap on lvm
[14:26] <th> jupp
[14:27] <th> can i have some comments on the subversion-static removal proposal mail?
[14:30] Action: netrunner agrees
[14:30] <netrunner> :)
[14:36] <blindcoder> th: that's why I talk about kexec
[14:36] <blindcoder> th: I don't know how good it is
[14:37] <blindcoder> th: but it might be worth a look

[17:23] <Pilot> well
[17:24] <Pilot> i am busy all the time here
[17:27] ripclaw_ (i=DE43741@nat/ibm/x-a74e42e606e5b391) joined #rocklinux.
[17:28] <ripclaw_> ehlo
[17:28] <ripclaw_> since a number of people are already in #23c3 - anyone in to registering a project for rocklinux at 23c3 ?
[17:29] <daja77> i thought there is no registration this year
[17:30] <blindcoder> moin moin ripclaw_ 
[17:30] <blindcoder> Pilot: good busy?
[17:30] <blindcoder> Pilot: or "I want to go on a rampage and kill some idiots"-busy?
[17:30] <blindcoder> ripclaw_: there's no hackcenter registration this year
[17:30] Nick change: ripclaw_ -> ripclaw
[17:30] <ripclaw> oh, didnt know
[17:30] <ripclaw> was just thinking about "as usual: register ahead"...
[17:30] <blindcoder> first come, be lucky and be first served
[17:31] <ripclaw> ok. will bring hardware for sparc compile.
[17:31] <ripclaw> any idea which of the mirrors work again ?
[17:31] <blindcoder> I wonder who of us will be at 23C3 anyway
[17:32] <ripclaw> <<-- 23c3
[17:32] <ripclaw> i`ll be there 26-29
[17:32] <blindcoder> I'll be there 27-30
[17:33] <ripclaw> if it is desired, i can take over some organisational stuff again, as from the 16c3-20c3 times.
[17:34] <daja77> well there were lots of non rock ppl at our place anyway
[17:34] <ripclaw> i assume that after 31.12. i`ll hopefully will be able to do regular stuff again.
[17:34] <daja77> and to be honest i don't want to pay that much for sitting around there in the cellars
[17:35] <blindcoder> hmm, how much is there to organise?
[17:35] <blindcoder> be there, be lucky?
[17:35] <daja77> blindcoder: hehe :)
[17:35] <ripclaw> me neither - i want to go to some of the talks, maybe have food with some of you folks, etc.
[17:35] <ripclaw> or work on some hardware related stuff in rock
[17:35] <ripclaw> (don`t get to do that a lot lately, i`ll need to take a day off for that)
[17:39] <Pilot> blindcoder, both ways
[17:39] Pilot (n=pilot@s52.GtokyoFL6.vectant.ne.jp) left irc: Remote closed the connection
[17:40] <blindcoder> well, I'll probably be offline for a few days next week
[17:40] <ripclaw> damn... tm won... he`s #135, mine is #270
[17:40] <blindcoder> I hope to be able to work on the new installer during that time
[17:40] Pilot (n=pilot@s52.GtokyoFL6.vectant.ne.jp) joined #rocklinux.
[17:40] <blindcoder> tm?
[17:41] <ripclaw> some guy from my last contract. 
[17:41] <blindcoder> hmm
[17:41] <blindcoder> I don't get what you mean
[17:41] <ripclaw> www.top500.org - he won the contest for who`s grid is faster
[17:41] <blindcoder> ah
[17:43] <ripclaw> also i plan to take the big box online during 23c3 - if we get the power-company ok to take it online.
[17:44] <ripclaw> in that case we may use 64cpu for the sparc compile.
[17:44] <blindcoder> let me put it carefully
[17:44] <ripclaw> but i`ll have to set up a local pkg mirror for rock in the datacenter#
[17:44] <blindcoder> sparc64 has not been done in years
[17:44] <ripclaw> i know that
[17:45] <blindcoder> just wanted to make sure
[17:45] <ripclaw> frankly i really expect it to break, thats why i plan to have a _bunch_ of CPUS...
[17:45] <ripclaw> otherwise i`ld just take along a ultra5
[17:45] <blindcoder> hmm
[17:45] <ripclaw> plus it isn`t portable, at 860kg
[17:45] <blindcoder> you also know that we don't use multiple CPUs for one package?
[17:46] <blindcoder> but rather n CPUs for n packages?
[17:46] <ripclaw> i can have up to 16 distinct machines at 4 cpu each in the box.
[17:46] <ripclaw> its like a bunch of VMwares in hardware which i can configure at will
[17:47] <blindcoder> yeah, I'm also a bit familiar with the whole architecture
[17:47] <blindcoder> but in stages 0-2 it won't matter if you have one CPU or 100 CPUs
[17:47] <ripclaw> there are 2 e10k two 450 a bunch of 240s and such avialable.
[17:48] <ripclaw> yes, but ram helps with ramdisks. we can run a 16g ramdisk nfs e.g.
[17:48] <ripclaw> this will definitely speed up 0-2
[17:49] <blindcoder> there have never been 'scientific' measurements wrt. ramdisk usage for compiling
[17:49] <blindcoder> I'm sure it'll help, though :)
[17:49] <ripclaw> read/write from ram is faster than from disk. with a bit planing i can have gbit fibre network in ther
[17:50] <blindcoder> sweet ^^
[17:50] <ripclaw> i collected a bunch of sick hardware and i plan to use it...
[17:50] <ripclaw> > 1 Tflop is not a nice thing to waste
[17:51] Action: blindcoder nods sagely
[17:51] <ripclaw> plus in case we only use one cpu - its the 8meg mirrored cache 400mhz ones, backbone speed in the box is 40,92gb/s max
[17:52] <ripclaw> should be a definite up from a single box.
[17:52] <blindcoder> that reminds me
[17:52] <blindcoder> I have to bring down a few 8x0 and blades next week
[17:52] <blindcoder> blade 150s, that is
[17:52] <ripclaw> (thats point to point backbone speed from any cpu to any other unit in there, except outgoing connect
[17:52] <ripclaw> bring down ?
[17:53] <ripclaw> i have a 150, too. but at 500 its not a big advantage over a big iron...
[17:53] <ripclaw> 8x0 ?
[17:56] <blindcoder> customer ordered a system for evaluation
[17:56] <blindcoder> now they don't want it because it's 'too complex'
[17:56] <blindcoder> just five racks
[17:56] <blindcoder> 880s IIRc
[17:57] <ripclaw> cool. free for take ?
[17:59] <blindcoder> no, will probably be reused for another customer
[17:59] <blindcoder> 'repurposed' as they say
[18:00] <ripclaw> oh... what a pity :) could use some ;)
[18:01] <blindcoder> heh, get back in line. Yes back there. behind the other 12,438 people in this queue.
[18:01] <ripclaw> hehe... i have good arguments :)
[18:03] <ripclaw> any idea to have a multi-dimensional array in shell ? define -a won`t cut in bash.
