mnathani: GRUB on linux has no problems booting off an mdraid disk these days. No need for a separate /boot etc
mnathani: Conversely, at the same time GRUB has not problem booting from LVM logical volumes on top of the physical disk layer, so you can make LVs for / and /home etc if you want to
plett: I got the install completed, ubuntu software raid, but then grub installs the boot loader in mbr instead of the gpt
mnathani: I don't think grub's stage1 knows about gpt, or expects the computer to be able to parse enough of gpt to be able to find it

I am reading that ^, but its really confusing
finally got it to work:
Filesystem        Inodes IUsed     IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/md0       182157312 86337 182070975    1% /
Filesystem      1K-blocks    Used  Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/md0       5782959688 2237688 5489254788   1% /
/dev/md0        5.4T  2.2G  5.2T   1% /
m0unds: fights seem to be balanced to me
ah, cool. i had an NC char on mattherson, and it was TR-heavy to the point of not being any fun
mnathani: Is the disk partitioned using MBR or GPT? And if you're not booting EFI (doesn't sound like you are) then yes, the bootcode (grub) gets installed in the MBR because that's where the BIOS expects it.

got my new (as in refurb) T410 today
cool
sadly, my ultrabay doesnt fit it.  I was going to do a 256g SSD,  and a 500g SATA in place of the optical drive.   guess I'll forgo the HDD for now, and just do the SSD.
doh
is today over yet? bleh
i wish
it's only thrusday :(
it's friday already somewhere
git 2.0 is much faster for clone and fetch
available as of last week
linux kernel disk to disk clone 1.9 = 73 seconds
2.0 = 3(!) seconds
perl 5.20 finally has copy-on-write for strings
so you can ship a large text to a subroutine as easy as you can send a reference.
have they reduced the number of deps needed to run git?
I didn't realize there was any. :)
ahh - looks like perl, python, asciidoc if you want the manpages
openssl for gitweb
yea, it's ~180MB of deps on netbsd
vs mercurial which is just python iirc
well - that's because git does more. :)
sure, but i hate it anyway
have you looked at git in the last two years?
be good at one thing, rather than try being good at tons of things
yep
i was forced to use it for a while
git's definitely better than it was many years ago.
i have it installed and reluctantly use it for a couple of projects
i'm not a fan
only reason those projects have me using git is that they use github instead of bitbucket
It's Friday here, has been for almost 12 hours!
haha
thursday is like my tuesday
i work wed-sat
You have a 3 day weekend?! Lucky bastard!
yeah, haha
4x10hrs ftw
That's actually not a bad way to do it :)
i agree
my division is pretty small, so it helps us keep better coverage
I'm doing a PhD so i've kind of forgotten what normal work hours are like, i tend to do 5-6x10-12h :( haha
hahaha
my wife just finished up her masters, and that was her typical week too
working full time + school
Stuff that! lol, luckily here in Aus the goverment gives a reasonable scholarship to discourage people from working while doing PhD's
haha
I sorta work every day
RandalSchwartz: Not full days i hope
sometimes :)
but my work is mostly fun
:)

boooooo
a minimal iso should not be almost 300M!
up_the_irons - mirage 2.0
minimal images (in the hundreds of megabytes) that are the entire serving stack, talking to a xen interface.
and also no attack surgace
surface
... http://openmirage.org
they can fire up one of these microkernels to serve a page in a short enough time that it can respond to an incoming HTTP request.
interesting
so if AWS had a microsecond payment model... it'd be great. :)
since these things can basically sit on "bare metal" xen
haha
openmirage.org is executing mirage code.  it's self hosting.
what's nice is for debugging, you can insert shims that use classic TCP
but then swap that out for tuntap devices
so you can get closer to the xen IF
it's pretty cool.  I interviewed them for floss 302
and now I'm learning OCaml. :)
